Newington is a depot town on the 301, pine flatwoods on every side and the Ogeechee sliding black and slow past the cypress not far off. Kemps Lawn Care keeps the yards between here and Sylvania cut and edged — mowing, trimming out fence rows and tree rings, blowing the walks and drives before the truck pulls away. Screven County heat drives grass hard from March into November, which makes the calendar half the work. Cleanups take out the straw and the leaf fall when the season calls for it. Small town, plain work, and a lawn that reads sharp from the road every week of it.
