October finally lets the air out of the heat, and down at Langdale Park the Withlacoochee runs dark and slow beneath trees just beginning to turn. Williams Pro Lawncare shifts with it — mowing while the grass still wants mowing, edging walks and drives, raking and blowing leaves out of the beds and off the lawn, and hauling the seasonal cleanup away by the load. Fall in Valdosta is short and crowded, the town lit up on Friday nights and the yards needing to be put right before a light frost turns the centipede tan. Come April those same lawns green up again from the same roots, and the route starts over. That long turn — cut, clear, cut again — is the rhythm the work keeps.
