Spring reaches the Seekonk River before it reaches the yards: the water loosens, the light stretches, and suddenly every lawn in East Providence needs attention at once. LawnCheck Landscape meets that rush with mowing, trimming and cleanups from Kettle Point up through the neighborhoods above Bold Point. The aim is simple and stubborn, grass cut at an even height, borders crisp, nothing left behind but the smell of it. When the year turns the other way the plow goes on, and the same driveways get opened before the workday starts. It is the ordinary rhythm of a city set between a river and a bay, and it is good work to be part of.
