The first mow of the year in Blossom always comes later than anyone wants, and always feels like the season truly starting. Green Yard Landscaping keeps Elma lawns going from that morning through the last leaf of November — cutting, trimming, edging, mulching beds and hauling the cleanup away. Then the blade goes on the truck and the winter half begins: driveways and lots plowed, walks opened, salt down on the slick spots. Nothing fancy in any of it, just showing up when the grass is high and again when the snow is deep. A yard that stays looked after all year is the whole ambition.
