The first true green in Cranston shows up in the Eden Park blocks off Reservoir Avenue, where the front lawns are small and south-facing and get going a week ahead of everybody else. RI Quality Lawn Care starts its season right there — rakes first, then the opening cut of the year, the one that makes a whole street look like it has decided to try again. Through summer it becomes routine in the best sense: weekly mowing, trimming along the walks and chain link, an edge kept honest where grass wants to creep over concrete. Autumn is leaves, and plenty of them, cleared off before the rain mats them into the turf. A lawn given the same attention every single week looks nothing like one rescued twice a year, and that difference is the whole job.
