Water shapes this corner of Georgia — the Withlacoochee running west of town, swamp edges holding cypress and dark water, and a humidity that makes everything grow at once. Lake Lanier Landscape meets that growth head-on with mowing, edging and trimming right through the long warm stretch of the year. Beds get cleared of whatever has crept into them, fence lines get cut back, and the cuttings come off the concrete before anyone walks through. In a place this green, the difference between a lot left alone and a lot cared for is simply somebody turning up every week. They turn up, across Lake Park and out toward Valdosta, Hahira and Twin Lakes.
