Centipede does well in this part of Georgia — low, light green, content in sandy loam and full sun, asking less than most grasses and repaying a steady mow. TifBlair keeps Fort Valley lawns on that footing: cutting at the right height, edging the drives, trimming out the beds, holding the turf even from the March green-up through the last warm weeks of fall. Peach County soil is red clay in some yards and sand in others, and a lawn will tell you which within a season. The work is patient — the same yard, the same day, until the whole thing knits together. After that it is a matter of keeping it that way.
