South toward Ridott the farm windbreaks are the first thing to go green, and once they do, every yard in Freeport is about a week away from needing its first cut. Vazquez Lawn Service starts the season right there, with mowing, trimming, edging and the spring cleanups that get a lawn out from under winter. April grass cuts wet and heavy and smells like the entire year is about to begin. Through summer it becomes rhythm: the same yards, the same days, the lines run the other direction each visit so the grass stands up instead of laying over. By the time the lilacs are finished, the season has its shape and the lawns show it.
