In spring, with the melt running, the waterfall at Newington's Mill Pond Park pours white over its ledge and the big trees around the pond leaf out in their first pale green. Schmitt Tree Service and Landscaping is a tree service and landscaping business at work among trees like those, in yards across Newington. Trees and lawns share the same ground here: limbs that shade the grass too deeply, roots that lift a bed, a canopy that drops a whole autumn onto the yard. The landscaping side keeps that ground in order with regular mowing, string-trimmed borders, clean edges and cleanups in spring and fall, so the yard below looks as tended as the branches above. From the traprock rise of Cedar Mountain to the side streets of Newington Junction, a yard comes together when the trees and the grass are thought about as one.
