January in Clinch County can hand you a hard cold snap and a shirtsleeve week inside the same month. The grass around Fargo goes tawny and slow then, but the work does not stop; it turns to cleanup, to hauling leaves and limbs, to the tidy trimming that keeps a resting lawn from looking forgotten. Valley Green Lawn & Landscape Care, Inc. mows, edges and trims straight through the growing season and keeps yards picked up in the quiet months between. When the color comes back in late February, the lawn is ready to meet it instead of buried under the winter. A yard kept even in the cold is a kind of promise about spring.
