East Georgia thunderheads build over the Waynesboro pines most summer afternoons, stack up purple, then flatten the grass with an inch of rain. Outlaw Outdoor Services works the windows between them, because red clay and warm rain make Burke County turf grow faster than anybody's calendar. Mowing, edging along drives and walks, trimming the awkward corners, blowing the cuttings clear, and hauling off the yard debris that storms leave behind. There is a particular pleasure in cutting a lot that got away from somebody and handing it back looking deliberate. When cooler weather comes the pace eases, the leaves start down, and the work turns to keeping them off the grass.
