The Towaliga River slides over long shelves of rock at High Falls, then eases back into the red-clay piedmont country where the fields run flat and the pines stand in rows. Yards and Stripes LLC works those lawns with mowing, edging and trimming, and takes the name seriously — the cut laid down in even bands that catch the low light and hold their line all the way to the fence. Middle-Georgia summers are long and heavy, and grass out here grows fast enough to reward a schedule and punish a skipped week. The best moment of any job is stepping back at the road and seeing the stripes run true. Through fall the leaves come off, and the yard finishes the year as neat as it started.
