The headwaters of the North Oconee gather in Jackson County, and the land tilts gently toward them in long green folds. West Lawn Service LLC covers that western end — mowing, edging, string trimming, blowing walks and drives clean, and moving leaves off the grass when the hardwoods let go in November. Autumn evenings up here come early and cool, and a lawn cut that afternoon holds the last of the light better than anything else in the yard. Between Jefferson, Braselton and Pendergrass the properties range from flat new sod to old sloped ground full of roots, and each wants a slightly different pass. Getting that right, every week, is the work.
