North of New Milford, Route 7 follows the river past Gaylordsville, where hayfields still get cut twice and the hills fold in close on either side. U.S.A lawn care of litchfeild county works those roads and the lawns along them — mowing, edging, string trimming, spring and fall cleanups, leaves cleared before the first hard frost. Country lots are big and irregular: ditch banks, driveway aprons, the strip beside the barn nobody else bothers with. Every one of them gets finished to the same line. There is real pride in pulling out of a long dirt drive and seeing the place look put right in the mirror.
