April in Weld County is when the ditches wake up — headgates lift, water moves out of the Poudre into the laterals, and the whole valley starts leaning green. MGB LANDSCAPING LLC times its year to that turn, opening with cleanups that pull winter's litter and matted leaves off the turf so the sun can reach the crowns.
