Summer mornings in Tallapoosa come in with river fog still lying low in the bottoms, and the first pass of the mower opens a clean stripe straight through it. B&G lawn care keeps the yards of this west Georgia town on a steady rhythm — mowing, string trimming, edging along the walks, and blowing the clippings off the concrete before the heat climbs. There is a plain kind of pride in a lawn that reads well from the road: one even height, borders you could draw with a straightedge, nothing left scattered. Once the spring rains settle in, grass here grows faster than anyone expects, so the week-to-week schedule is the whole job. By the time the afternoon builds up over the pines, the work is done and the yard is holding its line.
