March in Paterson is grit and mud, and the lawns up on the bluff near Hinchliffe Stadium come out of winter looking flattened and gray. Tirado's Landscaping & Construction takes that first pass of the year, clearing the sand and the broken branches, cutting low, edging the walks back to where they were in October. The yards on that ridge sit in narrow terraces above the street, so the mowing is done in short careful runs rather than long ones. By the second or third visit the color has come back and the property reads as cared for again. Watching a tired block turn green in order, one house at a time, is the best part of early spring here.
