January on the Clermont side of the county strips everything back: Skitt Mountain bare against a pale sky, every yard showing exactly what it is. Osborn Lawn and Landscape works that stripped-down stretch — storm-dropped limbs cleared, beds raked out, overgrowth cut back so nothing is left waiting when the ground warms. Landscape work follows the shape of the lot, borders redrawn and grounds put back into order. Then mowing season opens and the yard greens up over ground that was already made ready. Winter work is invisible by April, which is precisely the point.
