Live oaks give Thomasville its shade and, come November, its chores: acorns underfoot, small leaves sifting down for weeks, and turf underneath that wants clearing so it can breathe. South Oak Landscape takes that on along with everything else — mowing and edging through the season, string trimming, shrub and hedge trimming, mulch and pine straw in the beds, and leaf and debris cleanup when the drop begins. Shade yards down here are their own puzzle, thinner grass and slower growth, and they reward attention over force. By late winter the beds are clean and the ground is ready. Then the green comes back up through the tan and the rotation starts over.
