March lets go of everything it spent the winter holding — limbs down along the fence, matted leaves packed into the beds, whatever the ice pushed up onto the low ground. Poupe Pickers goes and gets it: yard cleanups, brush and branch removal, debris hauling, that first hard rake before a Clay Township lawn can be called a lawn again. Once the ground is clear, mowing, trimming and edging keep it that way through the season. A cleaned-up property in early spring feels twice its size, and there is something plainly good about carting off a mess and leaving open grass behind. The trailer rolls out full and the yard looks a decade younger.
