Spring reaches Ellet in a rush — redbuds going magenta along the side streets, everybody's grass jumping an inch overnight after the first warm rain. Blue Devil Lawn Care meets that surge with a steady weekly cut, trimming close around fence posts and swing sets, edging the walks back to a line the winter had blurred. The first mow of the year is the most satisfying one: a whole yard changing character in forty minutes. Through summer it is maintenance; by October it is leaves off the lawn before they smother it. Akron's east side rewards anyone willing to stay on schedule.
