Quitman keeps its live oaks — the big ones over the old streets of Brooks County, Spanish moss hanging dead still in the heat, throwing the kind of shade a lawn has to learn to live in. J & A's Lawn Care works underneath them, mowing to an even height, edging the sidewalks and drives, trimming around trunks, posts and bed lines, and clearing every clipping off the pavement. This close to the Florida line the growing season barely lets up; grass here can still want cutting in November. Summer afternoons build their storms out toward the Okapilco bottoms, and the yards drink them straight up. A shaded south Georgia lawn, cut level and edged clean, looks cool before you ever step onto it.
