The first warm week in Hampton shows up in the dogwoods and redbuds along the back roads, and a few days later the grass finally means it. Young's Lawn Service starts the year right there — the season's first cut, winter's leaves pulled from the fence corners, the walk and the drive opened back up to a clean edge. From then on it is weekly: mow, trim, edge, clear, gone, straight through the long Georgia summer and into the leaf-heavy end of fall. Yards down here go from asleep to overgrown in about two weeks, so the start of the season sets the tone for all of it. Begin clean, stay clean — that is the whole method.
