The forsythia goes off along Midland Avenue before anything else has decided it is spring — all that yellow against bare branches and brown grass. A week or two behind it comes the first cut, and Rainere's Lawn Care is out for it: spring cleanup, mowing, edging, trimming the winter's ragged margins back into line. From there the season sets its own schedule in Paramus, rain through May, heat through July, the lawn asking for the same steady care either way. The last job of the year is the fall cleanup, everything raked and hauled and squared away before the cold. A yard held to that rhythm never looks like it is catching up.
