Out toward the Salmon River, where the covered bridge sits low over the water, spring shows up as mud first and green second. DeLisa Lawn & Landscape starts the year there — cleanups, the first mow once the ground will carry weight, trimming, edging, and fresh mulch in the beds. River-bottom land grows grass with real enthusiasm, and keeping ahead of it through May is most of the season's labor. The transformation is the fun of it: an hour in, a yard that looked shaggy and uncertain has edges and intent again. By June the schedule is steady and the lawns look like somebody means them.
