The first real cold in Perry arrives overnight in November, and by morning the pecan leaves lie in drifts along the fence line. Hunt Family Lawn Care LLC works that stretch the way it works every other — mowing while the grass still asks for it, edging the walks, clearing leaves and clippings until the yard reads clean again. Middle Georgia winters are short and mild, more pause than shutdown, and there is something settling about handing a lawn over to the cold in good order. Even in the low light of a December afternoon, a cut edge holds its line. Perry, Kathleen, Bonaire, Elko and Warner Robins are all on the schedule.
