The first cut of the year down here usually lands while the redbuds are still purple along the Shawnee ridges south of town, and the grass has that soft, almost blue cast it only gets in April. R&M Lawncare and more starts the season right there and keeps on going: weekly mowing, edging, trimming, mulch, brush and yard cleanups, leaf work once the fall turns. The 'and more' is the part that covers whatever a yard throws at you between March and Thanksgiving. Herrin ground runs to clay, so it holds water after a hard rain and bakes tight in a dry August, and both call for judgment about when to cut and how low. What you are after is a yard somebody is glad to walk out into.
