Spring in Douglas County is a negotiation. Grass wakes up in March, a wet snow flattens it in April, and then one warm week later the whole town is green and knee-high at once, and it is time to be mowing again. That first cut of the year is the one to watch: shaggy to sharp in a single pass, edges brought back to the concrete, string trimming around every post and downspout. From there the visits stay regular straight through to the fall cleanup. A yard cut on time all season never has to be rescued, and that is the quiet argument for coming back week after week.
