January in Eastman runs mild and low-slung: dormant Bermuda gone straw-colored, camellias opening against the cold, whole afternoons of thin sun. LW Outdoors uses that stretch for the work that pays off later — leaf and pine straw cleanup, cutting back ragged edges, hauling debris off lawns so nothing sits and smothers the grass underneath. When the green pushes back up in March the mowing begins again, week after week, edges held sharp against walks and drives. Handing a yard back so it reads intentional from the road is the whole point of the day.
