April in Wakefield is a white steeple against a wet sky and a lawn that has not decided yet what it wants to be. Mauro Landscaping starts the year right there — raking out the winter sand and litter, cutting back the beds, redrawing the borders, laying mulch, and taking the first cut that wakes the whole yard up. From there the season settles into its rhythm of mowing, trimming and hedge work straight through the warm months. Overseeding fills whatever the winter thinned, and fall cleanups clear the leaves before they turn to matting. A yard brought properly out of March will hold its looks all the way to October.
