Berlin sits at the exact middle of Connecticut, where the trap-rock spine of Ragged Mountain shoulders down into flat river-bottom farmland and the old tin-shop streets of Kensington and East Berlin. G&D Landscaping LLC keeps the lawns here through the long green months — the mower's clean line, the edge cut true along a walk, a yard that looks tended from the road and holds that look until dusk. Come winter the same ground goes white, and the work turns to plowing and clearing: a driveway opened before the first coffee, a path back to the door while the ridge above is still dark. It is plain physical work, and it leaves its mark on a place — grass standing even in July heat, pavement bare in January, one street at a time across Berlin and the towns around it.
