March in Royal Oak is a color problem: gray snow, gray sky, gray salt-crusted turf along every curb. Gray To Green Landscaping exists for the turn — the cleanup that pulls winter debris out of the lawn, the first mow, edges reopened, beds cut back and mulched fresh. After that come the weekly cuts, the trimming, and in October the leaf work that closes the year out. It is startling how fast a tired lawn answers back once someone lifts the matted thatch off it and lets the sun down to the crowns. Two weeks past the cleanup, a whole block looks like it decided to wake up.
