The first cut of April is a small ceremony — the sycamores down by the creek still bare-limbed, the fescue soft and thick, and a smell off the deck that stays in the truck all day. New Leaf Lawn & Landscape LLC opens the Florissant year with cleanups and that first pass, then settles into weekly mowing, trimming and edging as the yards take off. Mulch goes down while the beds are still cool and the weeds have not decided anything yet. A lawn that gets its start right in April is an easier lawn to keep all the way to Thanksgiving. Lawn and landscape work in and around Florissant.
