By late March the Cadillac thaw has left a gray film of road salt and sand across every south-facing wall in town. Truax Family Lawn Care & Power Washing takes it back off — washing siding, walks, drives, decks and fences — and then opens the mowing season on ground that is finally firm enough to hold a tire. There is a specific pleasure in the moment a wand pass reveals what color a house actually is. The lawn side runs on the same principle: mowing, trimming and edging until every line looks deliberate rather than accidental. Cleanups top and tail the year on either end.
