March in Ray Township is mud and meltwater — the fields go gray, the ditches run, and every lawn comes out from under the snow looking flattened and tired. Winowski Landscaping starts right there, with the spring cleanup: branches, sand and matted debris raked out of the turf and the beds so the grass can stand up and breathe. Then the season proper begins, mowing on a weekly turn, trimming the fence lines and foundations, cutting the edges back where the turf crept over the winter. Through summer it is repetition, which is exactly what a lawn responds to. The township greens up fast once it decides to, and staying with it week to week is the whole job.
