Early spring in Lackawanna's First Ward is a gray-to-green business: one week the yards lie flat and brown, the next there is color down at the roots. Sophisticated home solutions LLC. starts right there with the opening cleanup — raking off the winter litter, clearing the beds, giving the lawn a first cut that wakes it up. From then on it is weekly mowing, trimming around porches and posts, and edging that keeps every walk defined. Come autumn the leaves are gathered and hauled and the yard set down for the cold. Lackawanna is the base, with work in Blasdell, Hamburg, West Seneca and Buffalo.
