April on the Little River is a loud month — meltwater hurrying under the bridges, alders going soft green, the first warm afternoon that makes every Westfield lawn look overdue. Bradley Landscaping LLC meets the year at both ends: mowing, edging and hauling off the winter's litter of sticks and matted leaves, then coming back in December with a plow and a spreader. A yard cut on the right day holds its lines for a week; a driveway opened early holds the whole morning together. Between those two jobs sits most of what a property needs to look cared for. The river keeps its own schedule, and this outfit keeps its own.
