Winter here is mostly brown and brief — a hard frost silvering the sand at daybreak, gone by ten. O&I Lawn Services uses those quiet weeks in Vesta for the work that pays off later: knocking back dormant growth, cutting borders back sharp along drives and walks, clearing leaves and pine straw out of the yard. Nothing grows fast in January, which is exactly why the details hold. When the first warm spell turns everything green at once, the lawns on this route are already shaped and ready for it. Then the mowing starts again and hardly pauses until fall.
