April in Medfield starts down by Kingsbury Pond, where the water opens up and the fields turn from straw to green in about ten days. Sam White & Sons Inc takes the first mow of the season right then — the cut that resets a lawn, with winter debris raked out and the borders recut. After that comes the weekly rhythm all summer: mowing, trimming, bed care, mulch, and the autumn cleanup that puts a yard to bed. The soil at this end of town holds water, so a cut is timed to the ground as much as to the calendar. Nothing dramatic happens; the lawn simply looks right, week after week, and that is the aim.
