Thaw arrives in Constantine township as mud and matted grass, the fields dark and the lawns flattened where the snow lay longest. YardTech starts its year right there, raking out the debris and clearing the wreckage of winter off the turf so light and air can reach it again. From that first tidy-up the season builds: mowing on a set day, trimming the edges nobody else bothers with, keeping the growth in hand all summer. By June a yard that began as brown thatch is dense and green, and it holds that way into the fall. Watching a lawn come back is the best part of spring out here.
