By late October the light around Texas, Georgia goes low and gold by four in the afternoon, and the lawns start slowing down for the year. Texas Lawns & Maintenance, LLC works that turn of the season with leaf cleanup and final cuts alongside the mowing, edging and trimming that carried the property since spring. A yard put to bed properly — leaves off the turf, edges still clean, beds cleared — comes back stronger when the warmth returns. Heard County oaks drop in waves rather than all at once, so it takes more than one visit to do it honestly. There is a good feeling in a lot that looks kept in the middle of November.
