Spring reaches Auburn along the Kawkawlin, cottonwood fluff on the breeze and the ditches finally drying out. Kolka's Landscaping starts the year raking winter off the lawns, cutting back what the cold ruined, and putting down the first clean stripes of the season. Summer settles into mowing, trimming and edging on a steady schedule, week after week, right through the long light of a Bay County July. A yard that stays even all season is the result of a lot of unremarkable days done properly. That is the craft, and it shows in the finish.
