By April the Taylor River runs high and cold, and Hampton lawns wake up muddy and matted from the winter. Green Grass Lawn Care Co. starts the year right there — raking out the tangle, clearing beds, then laying down the first cut of the season. That first mow is the moment a yard stops looking like it survived something and starts looking like someone lives there. From then on it is a steady cadence: mowing, trimming, edging, week after week into the fall. The last visit of the year gathers the leaves and closes the yard down clean.
