East of Leslie the land runs down toward the Flint, and the fields out that way lie in stripes of green that look mown from the highway. Work Sumter Sod holds yards in Sumter County to the same standard: regular mowing, a cut edge where lawn meets the pad, and trimming close in the places a deck cannot reach. Heat and long light make grass grow hard here, so the schedule stays honest from March onward. The drive gets cleared before the trailer gate goes up, and in fall the leaves come off before they mat the turf down. Watching a lawn come back level and green after a cut is the whole reason to do it.
