The first cut of the year is different from every one that follows. March turns the Georgia Piedmont a faint yellow-green — pollen on the porch rail, buds coming out on the dogwoods, the red hills around Austell beginning to soften. That is when a lawn gets woken up: taken down low the first time, edges re-established, beds cleaned out and re-mulched, winter debris carried off the property. Soto Landscaping service handles that turn and then holds the line all season with regular mowing, trimming and landscape upkeep. Nothing else smells quite like the first cut grass of the year.
