Morning comes on slow in Berlin, the light easing down the traprock shoulders of Lamentation and Ragged Mountain before it ever reaches the lawns in the valley below. Crilly's Lawn Care & Property Maintenance works in that early hour, when the grass is still bent with dew and the mower lays its first clean stripe across a Kensington yard. There is a plain, honest satisfaction in the results — the crisp edge run along a walk, the beds raked open, the leaves gathered up before autumn presses them into the ground. Rooted here at the geographic center of the state, in an old tinware town threaded with quiet streets and wooded ridgelines, they keep the yards of Berlin trimmed and squared away, so each property holds its shape as the year turns over.
