March at Maidstone Park is all bleached grass and cold blue water, the reeds along Hog Creek still lying flat from winter. Groundworks Landscaping starts the year right there, with spring cleanups, beds cut back, and the matted thatch raked out so East Hampton lawns can find their feet. Then the season proper arrives: mowing week by week, edges run along walks and drives, string trimming where the machine cannot reach. Ground on this side of town holds moisture longer than the sand does farther south, and a lawn will pay you back for reading the difference. By May it is all one color again, and it stays that way because somebody keeps showing up.
