Down where the creek bottoms hold their tea-colored water, cypress knees push up through the muck and the ground stays soft long after the road has dried. Cypress Lawn Care and Landscaping LLC works the higher ground above all that in Jacksonville, GA — mowing and trimming yards, edging beds, shaping shrubs, setting mulch and clearing back the growth that always tries to close in from the tree line. Shade from the old hardwoods makes every yard here a puzzle of thin grass and thick grass, and the answer is patience with the mower and care around the roots. Spring arrives quickly in this country, and the calendar fills with the pleasure of first cuts. By the end of a day the beds have a clean shoulder and the lawn stops at the edge exactly where it should.
