April rain in the Northern Valley comes warm and unhurried, and within a week the lawns under the Palisades ridge go from brown to something worth looking at. Watch US Grow Landscape Design LLC meets the season there — opening cleanup, the first cut of the year, beds and borders reshaped after the freeze. From then on it is weekly mowing, trimming and edging, holding a property at its best while it does the growing on its own. Shade from the old trees makes turf here particular about how short it is taken, so the cut is set to suit each yard. Watching a tired lawn come back over a few visits never really gets old.
