Carrollton winters are short and gentle — a hard frost on some mornings, the bermuda gone tan, the hardwoods bare against a pale sky. Total Outdoor solutions LLC uses that quiet stretch for cleanup: clearing leaves and fallen limbs, tidying beds and borders, getting yards ready for the green that always comes early here. Then March turns and the mowing starts again, weekly, with trimming and edging on every visit. Seeing a whole year through on one property is more satisfying than any single cutting could be. Nothing about the calendar in this county stays still for long.
