February in Conyers is honest: bermuda gone the color of straw, the loblollies along Old Covington Highway holding all the green there is, every line in the landscape suddenly visible. Gunter's Greenscapes LLC works straight through it — cleanup, pruning, bed edging, the shaping that pays off when everything comes back in April. Then mowing season arrives and the weekly rhythm takes over, edges cut true, clippings off the walks. Winter work is the unseen half of a good summer lawn, and doing it thoroughly is its own kind of pride. Come spring, the yards show who did it.
