March lets go of Greenwood grudgingly — frost easing out of the ground, the first green showing on the south side of every building. New Era Hardscape Services LLC starts the year right there, clearing winter's litter off lawns and putting in the first cuts once the ground firms up. Spring on this glacial soil is all rush and mud, and then suddenly everything is growing at once. Steady mowing, trimming and edging through Greenwood and the neighboring McHenry County communities keeps that surge in hand. By May the yards look intentional again, and that is the whole idea.
