April here is meltwater in the ditches, mud on the shoulders, and robins working a lawn that hasn't decided yet whether to green up. Professional Lawn Services meets the season at that first uncertain cut — mowing, trimming, edging, hauling off the winter's litter of twigs and road sand. From there it's week after week of steady upkeep through a growing season that runs hard into October, then the long fall sweep and the last leaves off the turf. Nothing about it is dramatic, which is rather the point: a lawn tended all summer never has a bad week. By the time the yards go quiet again, they're ready to be left alone.
