April loosens the Chester hills all at once — the frost lets go, the old mine hollows fill with runoff, and the colonial stone walls come back out of the leaf litter looking newly built. Landscapes By Design starts the year right there, with spring cleanups that pull the winter mat off the turf and give the grass room to wake. From then on it is mowing on a rhythm, edging the beds and drives, and trimming what the mower cannot reach, straight through to the last cut of November. Ground this high dries slowly, so timing matters more than muscle. Done right, a Chester yard looks less like it was worked on and more like it never went untended.
