Out past the last mailbox the yards stop being yards and start being acreage — old pasture, fence lines swallowed in briars, a lane that hasn't seen a blade in two seasons. Freedom Lawn Care & Tractor Services LLC handles both ends of that in Jacksonville, GA: mowing, trimming and edging around the house, and tractor work for the rough ground, bush hogging fields, opening fence rows and knocking back overgrown lots. Watching a stand of chest-high growth fall into flat, hay-colored stubble is one of the plain satisfactions of the job. Between the river bottoms and the pine country there is always more land than time, so the work runs from early spring straight through the long warm autumn. Whatever the size of the tract, it goes back to being usable.
