April in Lansing belongs to the Grand — brown, high and moving fast under the bridges, carrying the winter downstream. Green comes right behind it, and Go Greener Lawn & Landscaping meets the season there: raking out the litter of a hard few months, cutting the first true mow of the year, shaping beds and edges while the ground is still soft enough to take a line. By July the mowing settles into a steady weekly rhythm; by December the same driveways get plowed and salted instead. Watching a tired yard come back green is much of the joy of this job, and the rest is knowing the walk will be clear at six in the morning.
