Stay off soggy ground
Walking or driving on wet, thawing soil in March compacts it. Wait until it’s firm.
Everything winter left behind, cleared out so your lawn starts the season strong.
Winter leaves behind matted leaves, sticks, sand from the street and dead plant material. Left alone, it smothers the grass, delays green-up and invites disease.

Every step, so you know what you’re getting and why it’s done that way.
Leftover leaves, sticks, fallen branches and winter debris raked and blown out of the lawn, beds and corners.
