In midsummer the Farmington River loops through Avon slow and brown-green, the meadows beside it go tall, and the mowing season hits its full stride. Russo Property Management LLC keeps properties on both sides of that valley on a steady schedule — cut, trim, edge, blow the clippings off the walk, gone before the afternoon heat sets in. Avon lawns run wide and open, which is a gift and a test: the stripes show beautifully, so every line has to be laid straight. Beds get mulched dark in May, growth gets kept off the walls and lamp posts all season, and in the fall the leaves that come down off the ridge get gathered rather than left to mat the turf. A property under regular care doesn't announce itself; it simply looks right every single week, which is exactly the point.
