Spring arrives in Oxford as mud first — frost heaving out of the drives, meltwater hunting the low corners, last year's leaves matted flat beneath the maples. Robert Thomas Landscape Environments starts right there with spring cleanups, opening up the matted spots, then mowing, trimming and edging as the turf finally wakes. The township's mix of clay pockets and gravel ridges means one lawn greens in April while its neighbor sulks until May, and the work respects that difference instead of fighting it. Summer settles into the weekly rhythm; autumn is leaves, again and again, until the beds are bare and ready for the cold. What gets left behind each visit is a yard with its outlines back.
