April in Grant precinct arrives all at once: the ditches green over, the ground firms up, and every lawn in the area needs cutting in the same week. Grass Plus meets that rush with the season's first mowing, trimming back what winter left ragged, edging the walks and drives, and clearing away the twigs and leaf drift March pushed into the corners. The first cut of the year is the one that sets the shape of everything after it. Spring here can be soaked for a fortnight and then bake, so the route bends to whatever the ground will carry. By the time the trees are fully out, the yards look like the season has been taken in hand.
