Hahira's pines set the terms: by mid-morning they lay bars of shade across a yard, and by fall they bury the beds in straw. Georgia Pine Outdoor Services LLC works that mixed light for what it is, cutting at a height the grass under the canopy can actually hold. Straw and needles get raked out and hauled, the drive gets edged, the walk gets blown down, and the yard comes back out from under the trees looking swept. South Georgia grows in a hurry and forgives nothing left undone, so the route keeps rolling from the first warm week of March to the last mild one in October. It is ordinary work, and it is the difference between a house that merely sits in the woods and one that belongs there.
