Wadley sits low and wide in Jefferson County, where the pines break open for fields and the rail line runs straight through the middle of town. Evening light goes long out here, gold across flat ground, and the summer heat holds well past supper. William and Victoria Landscaping mows and trims through it — cutting yards and lot edges, edging the walks and drives, keeping fence lines clear, then leaving the concrete clean behind them. Coastal-plain grass runs hard from April to October and asks to be kept up with rather than caught up to. A trimmed yard on a wide Wadley street looks like somebody's home, plain and tended.
