Mid-April, when the dogwoods break white along the older streets and the ground has finally warmed through, is when a Winder yard decides what kind of summer it is going to have. JCM Landscape Group works that window hard — routes started, beds cut back in and mulched, shrubs shaped, weeds hit well before they seed. Out along Highway 11 toward Monroe the properties spread out and the work gets bigger, but the sequence never changes. Landscape maintenance is mostly a matter of doing the right thing in the right week. Get April right and August turns into a much kinder month.
