January in Vidalia is short days, low gold light, and turf gone the color of straw. Manns Lawn Care keeps at it through those weeks — trimming out fencelines, reestablishing the borders along drives and walks, raking out leaf litter and straw so the lawn can breathe. Winter is when the shape of a yard shows plainly, with nothing green to hide behind. Then March comes and the whole county turns at once, and the mowing picks back up and carries on until the nights cool again. Steady is the entire method.
