There is a week in New Britain when the maples along the old factory streets let go all at once, and Warkoski Home Services LLC reads it like a signal — the mowers still humming over the last green of the season, the plow already waiting in the wings. This is Hardware City work, honest and squared-off: lawns kept trim through the long valley summer, then driveways scraped clean and salted while the brick mills are still dark and the hills above Walnut Hill Park hold their first white. They work the ground the way this town has always worked — patiently, with an eye for the crisp edge and the clear path. Come the thaw, they are back among the maples, coaxing the yards of central Connecticut green again. It is the same care, only turned to face a different sky.
