Spring shows itself along the backwaters before it ever reaches the yards — redbuds go pink down in the timber, the river drops back off the willows, and then one warm week the grass wakes all at once. Vision lawn care and maintenance picks it up from there: the first cut of the year, then mowing, trimming, edging and cleanups straight through the long green stretch of a Quad Cities summer. When the cold comes around, the same trucks run plowing, shoveling and salting for South Moline drives, lots and walkways. A lawn that starts the season ragged and ends it even is a satisfying thing to watch happen week by week. So is a driveway opened at first light while the rest of the block is still buried.
