South Georgia lays itself out flat around Ashburn — peanut fields, cotton rows going white, pecan groves standing in even lines all the way to the horizon. Ryan's Lawn and Leaf works the long season here, where grass grows from March into October and hardly asks permission. Mowing, edging, and trimming carry most of the year, and then comes the leaf work the name promises: pecan and oak litter cleared off lawns and drives once the first cold snaps finally arrive. A yard in Turner County carries a lot of sky, and it looks best when the lines are clean and nothing is left scattered across it. Ashburn, Sycamore, Rebecca, and the farm roads that connect them — that is the ground they cover.
