Come October the streets between the Red Cedar and the capitol go gold and then bury themselves, and every yard in town needs hands on it. Spartan Lawn Care carries the year through that turn — weekly mowing all summer, trimming and edging on each pass, then the fall work of raking, clearing and hauling whatever the oaks and maples let go. Beds are cleaned out and lawns cut low before winter closes the season. Spring opens the same loop with a cleanup and a first cut on ground that has just thawed. It is plain upkeep for a city that takes its yards personally.
