March around here is all thaw and grit — plow sand on the parkway, salt crust drying white, everything flattened and grey and waiting on permission. RS Quality Landscaping starts its year in that mess, raking the winter out, combing the turf open so sun can finally reach it. From there the pattern is simple: mow, trim, edge, repeat, straight into the weeks when the leaves come down and the clearing runs the other direction. South of town the limestone country goes on beneath everything; up top it is only yards, and yards answer to attention. Give one a full season of it and the difference is visible from the street.
