There is a week in March when Capital turns — the frost goes out, the gray lawns flush green almost overnight, and everything that had been waiting starts at once. Thrive Lawn Care is built around that turn: cleanups to clear the winter off, then mowing, trimming and edging on a regular cycle all the way to the fall leaves. When the ground hardens again the work becomes plowing drives, clearing walks and salting the ice that forms after a thaw and refreeze. The prairie does not do gentle transitions, so being ready early at both ends is most of the trade. A lawn that comes back strong in April was looked after in November.
