Smoke Rise keeps its driveways long and its trees tall, so summer arrives there in pieces — a bar of sun, twenty feet of shade, another bar of sun. Garcia Group Lawn Care moves through it in the cicada hours, mowing, trimming around the hardwoods, edging a drive back to its true shape. Midsummer in DeKalb County means grass that grows overnight and afternoons that make you earn every yard. The crew takes the shaded runs first and the open turf while the dew is still lifting. Lawns in Stone Mountain and nearby Tucker and Lilburn come out of the season looking cared for rather than merely cut.
