Mid-May in Spring Valley is when everything gets away from you at once — grass ankle-deep by Thursday, hedges pushing new growth, beds waking up under last fall's leaves. JOES LANDSCAPING HOME IMPROVEMENTS meets it with the plain tools of lawn care: regular mowing, trimming, edging along drives and walkways, and spring and fall cleanups that take a yard back to a clean slate. Corner lots in the village carry two sidewalk faces, and getting both borders right is the difference between a yard that is mowed and a yard that is kept. The valley gives up a warm, wet June and a dry stretch in August, and a cutting height that changes with them holds the color through the heat. By the time the street maples let go, the same yards are being emptied out again for winter.
