On a Saturday in Thomson the street sounds like a chorus — one mower here, another two doors down, a trimmer running somewhere behind a fence. Jimmy's Home Services is part of that sound most weeks, moving through neighborhoods on both sides of town with mowing, edging, trimming and cleanup. The pleasure of it is small and repeatable: a lawn shaggy at nine and squared away by eleven, clippings blown off the porch steps, the gate latched on the way out. Beds get cleared, shrubs get tidied, and leaves get moved when the season asks for it. Thomson and the McDuffie County communities around it.
