Spring arrives in Carroll County as white and pink along the roadsides — redbuds first, dogwoods just behind them, the rolling ground going green from the bottom up. Pristine Property Services LLC starts its Carrollton season in that stretch, when the first cutting of the year makes a bigger difference than any other all summer. Mowing, edging, trimming, and hauling off what winter left behind, until a yard sits sharp against the driveway again. These hills mean no two lots mow the same way, and the crew learns each one. A lawn brought back in a single morning is a fine thing to leave behind.
