April in Newfane is mud and promise — the higher ground toward the ridge lets go of winter one gray week at a time, and then all at once every lawn in town is growing. Swick Landscaping Lawncare starts right there with the first mows, the first trimming, the edges brought back to a line after months under a drift. Through summer it is a steady rhythm of cuts; by the far end of the year the route reverses, and the plow opens drives, lots and walkways ahead of the morning run into Lockport. Watching a yard come back green after a hard Niagara County winter never really gets old. That turn from thaw to trim is the best week of the year to be doing this.
