January in Bethlehem is a brown-and-gold month: dormant turf, bare hardwoods, pines standing dark off toward Fort Yargo over in Winder. Kelly's Lawn Service treats winter as its own season rather than a pause — leaves off the lawn and out of the fence corners, beds cleared, edges reset while the ground is firm underfoot. Come the first warm week, a yard is ready for green-up instead of buried under a winter's worth of oak leaf. Through the growing months it is mowing, edging, trimming and blowing, week in and week out, on a rotation folks can set a watch by. A lawn kept on rhythm never has a bad-looking week.
