A Valdosta backyard really opens up after sundown, when the cicadas take over and the heat finally lifts enough to sit outside. Gonzalez Outdoor Living LLC works toward that hour — mowing, trimming and cleaning up so the yard is ready when the family comes out to use it. That means grass cut even to the patio's edge, no ragged fringe around the fence posts, the deck and walk blown clear instead of left gritty underfoot. In a place where the outdoor season runs from March into November, a yard is a room you live in, not just a thing you look at. Leaving one at dusk, swept and squared away and about to be enjoyed, is the good end of a long day.
