Get down close and a south Georgia lawn turns out to be a set of decisions: centipede running apple-green and low, bermuda taking the full sun without blinking, zoysia thick underfoot in the strip between the walk and the street. South Georgia Turf Management treats those differences as the actual job — mowing at the height each grass wants, edging clean along concrete, fertilization and weed control timed to a warm season that stretches from March into November, aeration when the sandy ground packs down hard. Summer here asks a great deal of turf, with heat that settles in early and rain that arrives all at once or not at all. Kept right, the color holds and the mowing lines stand up in the long evening light. That even sweep of green across a Valdosta front yard is the entire point of the work.
