April along the Ramapo River comes in loud with robins working the thawed ground, and that is the signal — the yards of Sloatsburg and Suffern are ready to be woken up. Red Robin Landscaping opens the season with the cleanup: winter's sticks and matted leaves raked out, beds edged back into shape, that first cut that turns a tired lawn green again almost overnight. From there it settles into the rhythm of the growing months, mowing and trimming week by week through the long humid stretch of a Rockland summer. Autumn closes it out, leaves gathered and hauled off before the first hard frost pins them down for good. A well-kept lawn is a small, ordinary kind of beauty, and it deserves to be done right.
