The roads out of Waycross run long and straight — pines on both sides, heat shimmering off the centerline, the next town always further than it looks. Marathon Lawn Service is built for distance like that: a full route of mowing, edging, trimming and clearing every walk, yard after yard, from the start of the day to the end of it. Endurance is most of the craft in this climate, where the grass grows eight or nine months a year and never once asks whether you're tired. The lawns that stay level all season are the ones somebody kept coming back to. That's the whole method, and it shows in every cut line.
