April in McHenry County shows up muddy and impatient: the frost lets go, the ground softens, and the grass comes back greedy for its first cut. Express Lawn Care & Landscaping meets it right there, with the opening mow, the rake-out of winter litter, the beds cleared and edged before anything gets ahead of them. Mowing and trimming all summer, feeding and weed control on the calendar the lawn actually keeps, leaves hauled away once the oaks let go. Woodstock yards run wide and open under a lot of sky, which means nothing hides, and a missed edge shows from the road. So they cut the edges first.
