April arrives in Independence County in a rush — redbud in the fence rows, dogwood back in the timber, and grass that goes from brown to knee-high the moment you look away. Derek's Lawncare & Landscaping answers with the full spring routine: the opening cuts, edges reopened along walks and drives, shrubs trimmed back, beds cleaned out and mulched dark so the green reads greener. A bed with a clean cut edge does more for a house in one morning than almost anything else you can attempt. From there it settles into a weekly rhythm and holds it right through the summer. Watching a place come back every spring is reason enough to be in this work.
