Franklin is hayfield country — stone walls running off into the brush, Susquetonscut Brook threading the low wet ground, and the white meetinghouse standing above a green kept open to the sky. Franklin Lawn Care LLC keeps the yards here in that same tended, unhurried order. A morning's work is mowing, trimming and edging, and carting off whatever the season has dropped on the grass. The reward shows from the road: an even pass laid down across the whole yard, and a crisp line where the lawn stops and the old wall begins. The company looks after homes in Franklin and the small towns around it in eastern Connecticut.
