April rain down here comes in warm and lands soft, soaking into the sandy ground that feeds the creeks running west out of town. Give it a week of that and Stratford turns green so fast you can almost hear it. Wet 'n' Green LLC starts the year in the middle of that surge — spring cleanups first, hauling off the winter's debris, then straight into mowing, trimming and edging before the growth gets ahead of anybody. Wet spring soil rewards a light touch and punishes a heavy one, so the route follows the weather instead of fighting it. By May the lawns along these streets are thick and even and holding a clean line at the walk, and the whole season has somewhere to go from there.
