April in Franklin is mud and impatience — the frost lets go, the ground gives underfoot, and everybody stares at a lawn that is still half brown. M.R.S enterprises LLC starts the year right there, with cleanups that pull winter's litter and matted leaves out of the turf so sunlight can finally reach the crowns. Then comes the first mow, which always smells better than the fifty that follow, and the season settles into mowing, trimming and edging on a steady week. Grass in these hills wakes up late and then runs hard, and there is a pleasure in staying just ahead of it. When fall arrives the leaves get cleared out again and the lawn goes into the cold clean.
