Down in Tift County the land lies flat and wide open, pecan groves in long rows, field pines at the edges, and a sky that goes all the way to the horizon before it stops. Chula Vista Lawn keeps yards cut and shaped in that big south Georgia light — mowing, edging, trimming and clearing the clippings, working early before the August heat presses down. Sandy soil and a long growing season mean the grass here keeps coming, week after week, and it takes steady hands to stay ahead of it. The payoff is a yard that holds a clean edge against the drive and a even sweep of green out to the road. In the low gold of a Chula evening, that looks about as good as a lawn can look.
