March in Genesee County is a mess and always has been: mud at the end of the driveway, gray snow shrinking on the north side of everything, a blade still bolted to the truck. Montrull Outdoor Services works right through that seam — the last pushes of winter, then the spring cleanup that lifts a matted lawn back onto its feet. From there it is mowing, trimming and edging out along the roads toward Linden, week after week, until the leaves come down again. Cold returns and so do the plows: aprons squared off, salt laid where ice sets up first. None of it is glamorous, and a swept walk in January still says plenty on its own.
