When the magnolias go over at Heckscher Park, Huntington Station is about a week out from its first mow of the year. Perdomo Planting Corporation waits for that signal and then works straight through — spring cleanup first, then mowing, trimming and edging on a steady weekly turn. Early-season grass is soft and full of winter, and the first few cuts have to be read carefully rather than simply mown. Get those right and the lawn carries its color all the way to the leaf drop. There is real pride in the moment a yard finally comes out of winter looking like itself again.
