March in Sussex County can hand you both jobs in one week — plow on Tuesday, rake on Saturday, mud on everything in between. Ray Bears Landscaping takes it as it comes: driveways cleared and salted while winter still has hold, then the spring cleanup, then the first mow once the ground firms up. From there the summer settles into mowing, trimming and edging on a set cycle, right through until the leaves come down and get hauled away. Newton's weather never fully commits in the shoulder seasons, which is half the reason people want somebody watching it for them. Both ends of the year, the same pair of hands.
