August in Fort Valley is a test of turf. Centipede sulks, Bermuda races, zoysia holds its color, and the difference between a lawn that makes it and one that thins out is mostly how it is cut and how often. Real Turf Solutions Landscaping works to that — mowing heights matched to the grass, weekly rotation through the growing season, edging and trimming so the shape stays as good as the color. Around Peach County the warm season starts in March and runs deep into the fall, which is a long time for a lawn to be looked at. Getting it to hold up the whole way through is the part worth doing carefully.
