Elm Park lets go of its ice earlier than the rest of the city, and the whole west side of Worcester seems to exhale at once. NJG Landscaping works that turning point from both ends — plowing the drives up off Pleasant Street while the dark still holds, then coming back in April to wake the lawns underneath. Mowing on a Worcester hill is honest work; the machine has to hold its line where the ground tilts toward the pond. A crisp edge along a granite curb is worth the extra pass, and so is a driveway opened wide before the first car needs it. Snow and grass are the same promise here: the ground gets looked after either way.
