May mist hangs over Long Meadow Brook until the sun climbs the valley wall and burns it off, and by then the mowers are already running. Ivan Landscaping keeps Naugatuck lawns on a weekly turn through the growing months — cut, trim, edge, sweep clean, and on to the next address. Spring means clearing out whatever winter left in the grass and setting fresh mulch around the beds; autumn means moving leaves before the rain glues them down. The work is plain and it shows immediately, which is the pleasure of it. A yard that looks finished on Friday is worth the whole week.
