January in south Orange County turns the Bahia straw-gold and thins the air out, and the sabal palms stand there looking unbothered by all of it. Blossomwood Lawn Care of Lake City keeps the Meadow Woods rounds going through that dry stretch, cutting high, tidying the edges and clearing the beds of whatever the wind has dropped. When the rains return the mower goes back to weekly and the color comes flooding up out of the sand. Trimming around palm bases and mailbox posts is the small work that decides whether a yard reads finished or half-done. The reward is a lawn that holds its shape all year, not only in the easy months.
