Palmer thaws unevenly — the south-facing yards go green while the north sides still hold gray crust and the driveways stay soft underfoot. Szymura Lawn and Landscape begins each year right there, raking out winter sand and litter, cutting back beds, laying fresh mulch and taking the first careful mow once the ground firms up. From there it is the steady summer cycle of mowing, trimming and edging, and then the long leaf work through October and November. Watching a beaten-up April yard come back to an even green by Memorial Day does not get old. Lawn care for Palmer and the villages nearby.
