April on the high plains arrives sideways. The wind comes down out of the northwest, rattles the old elms along Evans's established blocks, and packs last year's leaves into every fence corner it can find. Dorsey Home and Lawn Services LLC starts the year right there — cleanup first, then the season's first mow, while the lawn is still deciding whether to wake up. Trimming and edging follow, because a yard only reads as finished when the lines are honest. Through summer the route repeats, week on week, until autumn asks for one last haul-off and the grass goes quiet again.
