Up along Buena Vista Road the fairway slopes catch the thaw first, snow pulling back in ragged patches to show a green nobody expected to see so soon. M.J.D Landscape Solutions LLC works the whole arc of that West Hartford year — the storms that bury a driveway in February, the sand and grit that need sweeping in March, the first cut in April that wakes a lawn back up. In winter the crew plows, shovels and treats; in the growing months they mow, trim, edge and haul away what the season sheds. Doing both means knowing which side of a yard drifts and which side dries out, and using that knowledge in both directions. Property care is one long relationship with a piece of ground, told in twelve chapters.
