March in Richland Township is frost coming up out of the two-tracks and culverts running loud under the gravel roads. Godden Property Maintenance LLC starts there — clearing the winter's litter off the turf, then the first mowing once the ground firms and the grass along the road edge begins to lean green. From then on it's a steady turn of cutting, trimming and edging, right through to the leaves. Township lots run long and open, and the frontages people see first are the ones worth getting exactly square. Watching a property come back from brown to even green over a few weeks in spring is one of the better things about this work.
