In January the Bermuda around Senoia goes the color of straw, and the pastures past the edge of town silver over with frost before sunrise. Hedgecraft Landscaping uses that quiet stretch for the work that shows up later — clearing leaves and fallen limbs, cutting edges back to a true line, taking a yard down to its bones so spring has room to arrive. Winters in the piedmont are short and rarely serious, a hard freeze one week and shirtsleeves the next. When the green does return, the first mow lands on ground already in order. That is the whole argument for keeping at it through the cold months.
