Late June in Andover has an hour near seven when the light comes low across Andover Lake and every lawn on the hill above it turns the color of a ripe pear. Ron's Professional Landscape Construction works toward that hour — mowing in clean parallel bands, trimming along stone walls that were here long before the lot lines, cutting a true edge where turf meets the drive. This is hilly ground with thin soil and old trees, so nothing is done by rote; a shady slope near the Hop River valley wants a different height than a wide open yard catching full sun. Beds get mulched dark, growth gets cut back in spring, and every leaf that comes down in October eventually gets moved. What lasts is the feeling of pulling in on a Friday evening to a property that looks cared for, and knowing you didn't have to spend the weekend on it.
