Bahia grass grows fast in Echols County heat, and by the middle of June a lawn can get a week ahead of you. Red Hot Lawn Care meets it head-on through the bright part of the day, when the sand shimmers on the county roads and the pines throw hardly any shade at all — mowing, trimming close along fences and posts, cutting edges in clean at the walks, and blowing the concrete clear. A yard that had gotten away comes back into shape in an afternoon. What stays with you is the after: the stripes laid even, the fence corners squared, the porch view opened up again. The evening storm rolls through and starts the whole green engine over, which is fine — that is simply how the summer runs here.
