The first real cut of the year in Plainfield lands about the week the lilacs open, and the smell of cut grass comes back like a door swinging wide. Green Reyes landscaping starts the season right there — winter debris pulled off the turf, beds cut back in, mulch refreshed, and the mower finally set down on grass that has been waiting since October. From then on it is the weekly rhythm: cut, trim, edge, clear the walks, move on. Spring in this town is short and everything grows at once, so the schedule is what keeps a yard ahead of it. Plainfield and the surrounding towns.
