April on the Logan County flats arrives wet — three days of rain, then a week when everything grows an inch overnight and the low ground toward Salt Creek stays too soft to drive on. Willows Lawn Care reads that ground the way farmers do and gets on the grass the moment it will hold a wheel. Mowing, string trimming, clearing the winter's litter of sticks and packed leaves so the turf can breathe and green up. Once the first hot spell lands, the yards along the route look even and unhurried, which is harder than it sounds after a soaking spring. Nothing fancy in it — just grass that looks right every time you come home to it.
