South Glastonbury climbs into orchard country, and in early May the peach rows on the hillsides go pink before anything else has woken up. Mike's Lawn and Landscape, LLC opens its season about then — first mow of the year, edges redrawn, mulch turned into the beds while the ground is still cool. Summer settles into steady weekly cutting and trimming; autumn becomes the work of moving leaves off the grass before frost pins them down. Winter puts the trucks to plowing, hand-clearing steps and walkways, and treating the steep drives that hill ground is full of. It is honest work, and a yard that looks cared for is the whole proof of it.
