Late March in Clarence Center is all about the ground: frost coming out, the back lanes soft, the earth going dark and workable again after months of holding still. Groundhog Landscaping Inc. starts right there, clearing off the winter's litter and getting a first cut in as soon as the grass will hold a blade. From then on it is weekly mowing, close trimming, edging along drives and walks, and a fall cleanup to close the books. Everything good in a lawn begins below the surface, which is a fine thing to keep in mind while working above it. By June a property handled this way has that even, settled green you cannot fake.
