In January the hardwoods around Graves Mountain stand bare and the lawns below go the color of straw, which is exactly when a yard shows every flaw it owns. Jax's Lawn & Landscape spends the quiet months on that — leaf and limb cleanup, bed lines recut, shrubs pruned back, edges reestablished before any green returns. Then comes the first cut of spring, and everything tidied in the cold pays off at once. Mowing, trimming and edging carry it from there straight through the long Georgia summer. A dormant lawn kept neat is the surest sign of thinking a season ahead.
