About A cut Above landscaping

Spring arrives at Steigerwald in a racket of geese, and by the time the cottonwoods leaf out along the Columbia the grass in Washougal has already gotten ahead of everybody. A cut Above landscaping meets it right there — the first mowings of the year, edges recut after the wet months, the winter's shagginess trimmed out of the corners. Down at Cottonwood Beach the river runs wide and grey-green and the air carries the smell of new water off the flats. Yards near the bottomland come in thick and fast in that damp, and one straight, even cut on the first warm Saturday changes the look of an entire block. Simple work, done on time, and the result speaks plainly enough.
