April in Jefferson County arrives on a northwest wind off Rend Lake, cool one hour and shirtsleeve the next, and the yards green up nearly overnight. Landscaping & Lawn Care meets that first rush in Mount Vernon with the blades already sharpened — cutting, trimming, and hauling winter's litter out of the beds and fence lines. A plain name for plain, necessary work: keep it mowed, keep it level, keep the borders straight. By the second or third visit the turf thickens and the color evens out, and a yard starts holding its shape on its own. Spring here does not wait, so neither do they.
