April in Brookhaven smells like split oak and shredded cedar, the two scents that mean the yards are opening for the year. LI Firewood and Mulch spends it spreading mulch to depth, recutting bed edges so the line holds all summer, pulling early weeds and getting lawns back on a mowing schedule. Bark laid properly does more than look good on a Saturday — it holds moisture in sandy south-shore soil through the driest weeks of July. The same beds get freshened and cleaned when the leaves come down and the woodpiles start going out the gate again. A dark, even bed against a green lawn is a small thing that changes a whole front yard.
