Spring reaches Brighton Township in the order you would expect: the Mill Pond lets go of its ice, the low ground greens first, and the oaks take their time about the whole business. RMC Lawn Maintenance opens the season right about then, with the year's first cuts on lawns spread across the township's hills and lakeside roads. From April on it is weekly work — mowing, trimming, edging and keeping clippings from ending up where they should not. A yard kept from the first week of the season never needs rescuing later, and that shows all summer long. By the time the evenings run long, the grass is exactly where it ought to be.
