On the edge of town, the old farm village at the Georgia Museum of Agriculture keeps a version of South Georgia alive — split rail, hand tools, ground worked slowly. Talmadge Lawn Service belongs to that same habit of tending, only with newer machines: mowing, trimming, edging, and clearing up after, week in and week out. Around Tifton a lawn is less an event than an ongoing practice, one that follows the long growing season from the first spring flush to the last cut before frost. What shows for it is a yard that never looks neglected and never looks fussy either. Tifton, Ty Ty, Omega, Sycamore and Ashburn.
