Out by the airfield the land lies wide open and the April wind has nothing to slow it down, which is generally where a Taunton spring starts. McCoy Lawn Care & Property Services opens the season there and everywhere else in the city — cleanups first, winter's debris off the turf, then mowing on a set rotation with trimming and edging every time out. Grass comes in fast once the soil warms, and staying ahead of it is far easier than catching up. Straight lines, clean borders, nothing left scattered on the walk when the truck pulls away. By June a route looks like one continuous piece of work, which is how it ought to look.
