February in Paris is the plain season — bermuda gone straw-colored, the trees bare, the sky wide open over the Loop. PRO-D uses that stretch for the unglamorous work: cleanup, cutting back what winter flattened, edging walks and drives, and mowing the moment anything stirs. Dormant grass hides nothing, so every ragged border shows and every one of them can be set right. When green-up comes on in late March, the lawn starts from a true line instead of a muddle. Then the regular rounds pick back up and carry through the heat.
