February in Woodland is pine straw and red clay, the hardwoods bare and Big Lazer Creek running full and cold. Yearwood's Lawn Care uses that stretch for groundwork — raking out the beds, cutting back last year's growth, bringing the walks and drives back to a line before the grass ever moves. Once it warms the routine takes over: mowing on a regular turn, string trimming the fences and posts, clearing clippings off the concrete. Mulch goes down in spring, shrubs get shaped through the summer, and the leaves come off in the fall. The proof of it is a yard in June that looks like it was never once let go.
