Tate was built on marble — the pale pink Georgia stone quarried right here and shipped off to buildings all over the country. Appleton Lawn Care keeps the grass around those old streets and the newer yards spreading toward Nelson and Marble Hill. Mowing in this county means a slope in nearly every lawn and hardwood shade over half of it, so the grass gets cut at the height it can actually hold. Nothing shows the difference like the edge: a line traced along the walk and the drive, sharp enough that a yard looks complete before anyone notices why. By November the mowers give way to leaf work, and the lawn goes into the cold uncluttered.
