April in the older streets off Renwick Road smells like split mulch and wet bur oak bark. Armando's Landscape Services Inc. spends those weeks low to the ground — beds re-cut, winter's litter pulled out of the fence lines, mulch spread even and kept back off the crowns. Then the season opens and the rhythm changes to weekly work: mowing, trimming, borders held to a line, walks blown clean. Hedges get shaped when they need it, and the whole property is left looking like one intended thing rather than a set of chores. Plainfield is home ground, and the trucks carry the same routine to the towns around it.
