Southwest of the city the Coginchaug River drops over dark ledge at Wadsworth Falls, and the oak and hickory that shade that water shade half of Middletown's yards as well. Jd Lawncare & Tree Removal works underneath those canopies — keeping grass even and green where the light comes through in patches, and taking down the tree that has outlived its footing beside a garage. There is a particular satisfaction in a limb lowered on a rope so gently the hosta below never knows it happened, and in the straight last pass of a mower along a driveway apron. Summer arrives thick and humid up this river valley, and a lawn wants someone paying attention week to week rather than once a year. This is outdoor work for Middletown and the towns that ring it, done for the look of a yard at the moment the equipment is loaded and the truck pulls away.
