Early May in the flatter southern half of Scotch Plains, and the soil finally keeps its warmth overnight — you can watch a lawn wake up across a single week. JD Organic Landscape works to that timing, opening the year with a cleanup, fresh mulch in the beds, and a first cut that leaves plenty of blade standing for the roots below. From there it becomes the steady weekly turn: mow, trim, edge, clear the walks, keep the shrubs in shape as they push new growth. Grass grown patiently in spring carries itself through the dry weeks that always come later. Good ground, given its time.
