On the streets beneath the Sleeping Giant, where fieldstone walls edge the dooryards and the long traprock ridge holds its green profile against the sky, this is a landscaping and tree service tending the hills of Hamden. There's a plain satisfaction in a lawn cut into even rows, in a heavy limb taken down cleanly so the afternoon light reaches farther across the yard. When the Mill River valley turns white and the drives glaze over, the plow comes through before the town is awake, leaving one clean black lane between the banked snow. Come the thaw, the mowers return to the same properties north of New Haven, and the whole season is eased back into shape — one crisp edge, one trimmed branch at a time.
