Spring reaches Billerica Center about a week before anyone believes it — the common greening, Boston Road busy again, everybody suddenly looking hard at their front beds. The Mulch Guys arrive in that window with mulch dark as coffee grounds and lay it even, edge to edge, until a bed looks drawn rather than dumped. Mowing carries on through the summer, with close trimming where the fence posts stand and cleanups once the leaves start coming down. The result is the kind of front yard that makes a driver ease off the gas a little. Lawn care and mulch work across Billerica and its neighboring towns.
