April in Superior is a negotiation. A heavy wet snow lands overnight, and by noon it is dripping off grass that has already decided to turn green. Granite Property Services works that turn, cutting the first mow, laying in fresh edges, hauling winter's litter out of the beds under the Coal Creek cottonwoods. After that it is mowing, trimming and bed upkeep week after week until the last leaves come down and get carried off. Nothing dramatic about any of it, just a yard kept a step ahead of the calendar and a clean strip of concrete where the lawn stops.
