October is the honest month for turf. The heat finally lets go, the hardwoods around Evans Towne Center start dropping color into the grass, and every lawn shows exactly how it was treated all summer. Turf Pride Lawn Care works that stretch hard — mowing, edging, string trimming, leaf and debris cleanup, clearing the fall litter off before it mats down and smothers the bermuda underneath. A dormant lawn cut level and swept clean has its own kind of good looks: pale gold, sharp at the borders, waiting on the first light frost that settles over the Columbia County fields. Come spring it greens back in even, and that is the whole point of the work.
