South of Wadley the land lifts into sandy ridges where longleaf stands catch the wind and let the light down in strips. DSA Longleaf Pinestraw & Landscaping keeps Jefferson County lawns mowed and trimmed under and around those trees, where sun and shade trade places every twenty feet. Grass runs thin in pine shade and thick out in the open, so the cutting height is chosen for the yard rather than for the day. Edged along the drive, trimmed at the trunks and the light pole, walks cleared — done weekly, a lawn stops losing ground to the woods. Late in the fall the needles and leaves come down together, and the cleanup carries the place into winter.
