About R.V.S. Landscaping Corp.

April along Wilmot Road: forsythia going off like a struck match, daffodils crowding the mailbox posts, and the lawns still flattened from a winter under snow. R.V.S. Landscaping Corp. spends those weeks bringing them back — raking out the matted thatch, clearing the beds of last year's leaves, cutting fresh edges where the grass has crept into the mulch. It is the least glamorous month of the year and the one that decides how everything looks in July. New Rochelle's northern blocks run to old plantings and deep-rooted shrubs, so the shaping matters as much as the mowing. By the first warm Saturday the yards are open again, sharp at the borders, and the whole street looks like it woke up.
