Fort Valley State's oaks throw long shade over the west side of town, and the lawns under them have their own rules about sun and water. Landscape Extraordinaire treats a yard as a design problem first — where the light lands, where the beds should stop, how a border ought to curve — and then does the plain work that keeps the design true. Mowing on a rhythm, edging the walks, mulching, cutting shrubs back so they hold their shape instead of swallowing a porch. Middle Georgia grows things enthusiastically, which means the difference between a kept property and an overgrown one is only about three weeks. Holding that line is the job, and it shows from the road.
