Columbia's green sits high with a white steeple above it, and by mid-May the whole town has turned that soft, brief green that only lasts a few weeks. Impact Landscaping LLC spends those weeks catching up with spring — cleanups, first cuts, edges redrawn after a winter of sand along Route 66. Growth comes fast here in a wet May, and staying ahead of it is most of the job. There is real pleasure in the moment a yard flips from ragged to kept, when the beds have a clean line and the lawn reads as one unbroken field. That is the work, week after week, until the leaves come down again.
