At Newington Junction the rails cut straight through town, and on a winter morning the first sound out there is a plow blade working somewhere down the block. Cote's Landscaping & Lawn Service LLC takes both halves of the year in this town: mowing and lawn care while the ground is soft, snow removal once it stops being soft. Newington's streets sit close together and its driveways are short and pitched just enough to matter, which rewards somebody who already knows which ones drift. Grass first, snow later, the same yards either way. The neighboring towns get the same route and the same early start.
