Shannon sits in the valley country north of Rome, where the Armuchee ridges run long and blue and the fields between them hold their mist late into the morning. Cannon Turf Solutions LLC works those Floyd County yards — mowing to whatever pace the growing season sets, trimming the fence rows and foundations, edging a drive down to a clean line, then clearing away what the mowing leaves behind. Valley soil here can be heavy, and turf does best on a consistent cut rather than a hard one after a long gap. Autumn colors the ridges and then hands the yards a solid month of leaves to deal with. Through all of it the mark of the work stays the same: even grass, true edges, nothing left lying.
