The first mow of April is a small holiday: the machine comes off the wall, the air smells like cut grass for the first time in five months, and the whole neighborhood looks suddenly awake. LMN Lawn and Landscaping runs that opening day and every week after it across Poughkeepsie's east side — cutting, edging, trimming, mulch in the beds, hedges tidied, cleanups in spring and again in fall. Row after row of similar houses, and still you can tell from the curb which ones are kept. Straight passes, sharp borders, clippings blown off the concrete. Simple standards, held from April to the last leaf.
