The ground opens early in Oronoko Charter Township, where the small ravines fall toward the St. Joseph and the frost leaves the south slopes first. Wolf Lawn & Landscape, LLC starts there — spring cleanup, winter litter hauled off, beds reopened, the first mow of the year while the grass is still soft and pale. From there the season settles into mowing, trimming, edging, mulching and tending the beds and plantings that give a yard its shape. Work like this shows up slowly and then all at once: one week a property looks tidy, the next it looks intentional. Berrien Springs, Berrien Center and Buchanan all get the same treatment.
