A wet week in Barrow County adds three inches to everything, and then the sun comes out and the whole county needs cutting on Thursday. STS Lawn Services works those stretches — double-cutting where it is thick, mowing, trimming, edging, clearing clippings, falling behind and climbing back on schedule. Small planes drift over the fields toward the airstrip on the edge of Winder while the routes run underneath them. Nobody ever notices a lawn kept on time, and that silence is the compliment. What people notice is the one that got away.
