Distinguished Lawns

About Distinguished Lawns

In late May, Bristol turns all one color — the Pequabuck running full behind the old mill blocks, the ridge above Federal Hill hazed with new leaf, and every lawn from Chippens Hill down to the valley floor pushing hard for the light. That is the season Distinguished Lawns reads most closely, feeding turf on a plan built for the whole year, keeping weeds off the open ground, and handling the insects and ticks that arrive with a Connecticut summer lived at the edge of the woods. It is patient work, measured in shades of green and in the way a yard thickens week over week until it reads as one continuous thing underfoot. They tend residential and commercial ground across central Connecticut — Bristol, Plainville, Southington, New Britain, Berlin, Newington, Wethersfield, Rocky Hill, Cromwell, Meriden, Middletown, Glastonbury, Hartford, East Hartford and West Hartford — and what they leave behind is a lawn that holds its footing from the first warm week straight through to the gold of October.
