Spring comes to Palmetto as fog in the creek bottoms, lying low over the water until nine and leaving every blade soaked to the ankle. Compton Lawncare & Landscaping waits that hour out and then starts the rounds, cutting grass that has been waiting all February for the first real green-up. Mowing and edging carry the week; beds get cleaned out, reshaped and mulched, and shrubs get brought back into line before the growth runs away. There is a particular satisfaction in a bed with a fresh crescent cut into the clay and dark mulch banked behind it — the whole yard reads sharper for it. By the time the dogwoods bloom out along the fence rows, the properties on the route already look like someone has been paying attention.
