January is the green season down here, which still surprises anyone who moved from a place with a real winter. While much of the country is frozen, the lawns around Avenue B and C are growing, the citrus hangs heavy, and the mornings come up mild and impossibly clear. Lavi Pap Diw keeps that winter green honest with regular mowing, trimmed borders and the ragged corners brought back into line. It is steady, unhurried work, the kind that lets a yard look effortless on the one day a year the family takes a picture in it. Come summer they simply start earlier and keep going.
