The first real cut of May on Moss Avenue is an event — deep old lawns under enormous maples, grass that came up thick while nobody was watching. Perfect Lawn Care opens the season there and along the West Peoria bungalow streets: mowing at the height a waking lawn wants, trimming close around porch piers and tree rings, edging the walk back to its true line after a winter of creep. What a yard looks like when you step off the final pass and turn around — that is the reason to do it carefully. Peoria springs run short and wet and lovely, so every dry day counts. Start the season sharp and the rest of the summer follows.
