April at the Ironia crossroads is all thaw — mud on the shoulders, the first mow a week or two off, and everything about to happen at once. Yoko landscaping and home services opens the year with cleanups: sticks and matted leaves out of the beds, edges redrawn, mulch spread before the weeds get ideas. Then comes the long green middle of the year, when mowing, trimming and hedge work keep a yard tidied each visit rather than rescued each August. Randolph's hills mean no two lawns dry at the same rate, so the route bends around wet ground and shade. By the time the lilacs are out, the place looks like someone is paying attention.
