From the higher streets of New Britain you can watch the traprock ridge to the south hold its color deep into October, while every yard below it drifts under leaves. Victory Lawns LLC clears them — off the turf, out of the beds, away from the walks — and hauls the season off before the wet weeks arrive. The rest of the year is the steady part: weekly mowing, string trimming, edging, and the pavement cleared of clippings each visit. Spring adds the wake-up cleanup and fresh mulch around the beds. A lawn that gets that kind of attention comes back in April already ahead.
