Spring comes on fast here: dogwood and redbud light the woods behind the streets off Battery Park Road, and a week later the lawns have gone from tan to green without asking permission. New Life Lawn & Landscaping meets that turn with the work it calls for — a first clean cut, edges reopened, mulch down, seed into the thin places where winter sat wet. From there it is mowing and trimming right through the long humid stretch of a Tidewater summer. Fall brings the leaves off and one last low pass before the ground rests. Watching a tired yard come all the way back is reason enough to keep the truck loaded.
