The flats toward Verona and Vernon open wide, and spring shows up out there all at once — one week gray stubble, the next a green nobody is quite ready for. JCB Solutions gets ahead of it with spring cleanups, then mowing and trimming on schedule, edging, mulch, and the long sweep in fall when everything comes back down. The first cut of the year is still the best part: the smell of it, and the change in a property between arriving and leaving. Grass sets the pace here from April to October, and the work is keeping up with it well.
