May moves fast in this valley — one warm week and the maples leaf out, the lilacs open, and every bed in town needs attention at once. Greenscape Landscaping Inc spends that rush in the beds: edges recut, mulch laid, plantings set into ground that finally worked itself loose after the frost. Sandy soil takes plants easily but lets go of water just as fast, so what goes in gets chosen for how it will handle a dry Rockford August. Then the mowing settles into rhythm and the yard grows into the plan. By June a place that was bare in April looks like it was always meant to be that way.
