Late in the year the pecan groves around Douglas go gold and drop their leaves in one long week, and the centipede lawns underneath start easing toward dormancy. Elite Landscape Solutions works that turn of the calendar with final cuts at the right height, edges redrawn, beds cleaned out, leaves and limbs hauled away. Through the hot months it is weekly mowing, string trimming, and blowing the walks clear before the truck moves on. South Georgia hands out a long growing season and asks for steadiness in return. A lawn that goes into winter clean comes out of it ahead.
