January in LaGrange is thin light and dormant Bermuda, pecan limbs bare against a pale sky out past Mountville. Wilson's Lawn Care uses that stretch for the work nobody thinks about in July — clearing the last of the leaves, recutting ragged edges along the drive, tidying a yard until the shape of it is visible again. Then March arrives, green runs back through the turf, and the mowing picks up week after week through the long warm season. Mowing, edging, trimming, blowing off the walks: the same care whether the grass is racing or resting. A place looked after all year never has to be rescued in the spring.
