Springdale's hills go pink and white in April — redbud first, then dogwood along the wooded edges — and the fescue lawns take off two weeks before anybody is ready. A&V Landscaping is out in that first flush, cutting yards back into shape after a wet Ozark spring. Mowing week in and week out, trimming around mailboxes and light poles, edging the walks, clearing what the mower throws onto the concrete. Spring rain makes it a chase, and there is real reward in catching up — a lawn that was ankle-deep on Monday standing even and combed by noon. After that, it only takes keeping.
