February in Athens is a strange, hopeful month, the bermuda still lying gold and dormant while daffodils push up along the old fencerows around Normaltown. Reynolds Landscape Contractors uses that stretch to get ahead, working cleanups, clearing the last of the winter litter, recutting edges so the first green growth has a line to grow to. Then spring arrives all at once, and the mowing runs hard from March until frost, week on week, walk edged and drive blown clean each time. There is a real satisfaction in pulling away from a yard that was rough an hour ago and is squared away now. That is the whole job, honestly, done over and over across town.
