April on High Street, and the ground finally gives when you push a spade into it — the week Perth Amboy stops being brown. Sierra & Sons Landscaping LLC opens the year with spring cleanups, first mowings, mulch pulled back from the stems and beds cut fresh at the edge. It all looks like more work than it is until it's finished, and then it looks like nothing happened at all, which is the trick. Through the warm months it becomes the steady part — weekly mowing, trimming, staying ahead of the growth a mild river-town spring sets off. By the time the heat settles in, the yards they keep are already in the shape they'll hold.
