Spring in Thomson arrives as a yellow film of pine pollen on everything — the trucks, the mailboxes, the porch rails — and then one good rain washes it away and the grass comes up all at once. Ideal Landscapes CSRA LLC meets that first flush with mower and edger, cutting the season's opening lines along driveways and sidewalks. A clean edge is the difference between a yard that has been mowed and a yard that has been kept: the blade drops, the concrete shows its true width again, and the lawn gets a border you can see from the street. Weekly mowing, trimming, bed cleanup and blow-down carry it from there through the long green months. Thomson, Boneville, Camak and the red-clay roads in between.
