By October the fields around Dougherty County go white with cotton and the mornings finally turn honest, cool enough for a jacket at seven. Elite Lawn & Landscape works right through that turn — the last full cuts of the year, edges tightened, beds cleared, leaves gathered before they mat down over the grass. Landscape work fits the cooler weeks: shaping, tidying, getting the front of a house ready to look good all winter. Then comes the long dormant stretch, and the yards that were kept up in fall are the ones that green back the fastest. That is the whole argument for doing it right the first time.
