Early spring in Hopewell Township smells like turned ground — the fields west of town drying out, the hedgerow trees still bare, everything about a week away from starting. Osorio's Landscaping opens the season there, raking winter matting off the lawns, clearing the beds, spreading mulch, and putting seed into bare ground ahead of the first warm rain. After that it is weekly all the way to the leaves: cutting, trimming, edging, hedges kept in shape, clippings cleared off the drive. Yards here sit between the ridge and the farmland, with more open sky than most lawns get, and an even cut looks especially good under it. The season is long and the route runs on time.
