The soil under Bloomington is deep and black, left behind by glaciers and famous for growing whatever it is handed — which is why a lawn here needs a firm hand and a regular one. Velasco Landscaping & Maintenance LLC brings that with mowing, trimming and edging, plus mulch and bed work when spring finally lets the ground dry. April wind comes across the open fields with nothing to slow it, so the season starts brisk and ends with the yard squared away. There is pride in a bed with a cut edge and fresh mulch against green turf; the contrast does the talking. Bloomington and the surrounding towns get that upkeep from thaw to first frost.
