Spring reaches Coal Valley from the bottom up — the ravines green first, then the yards along the ridge roads out toward the zoo, and by May everything on this hillside is growing at once. Nick's Landscaping & Lawn Care meets it with a mowing rhythm that holds all summer, trimming close to the trees and edging where lawn runs out at the drive. Yards here are rarely level, and a clean cut on rolling ground is worth stopping to look at. When the leaves are down and the first hard freeze arrives, those same properties get plowed, shoveled and salted. It is the same ground, tended in a different weather.
