The Pootatuck runs loud through Sandy Hook in May, past the old mill buildings and under the road, and the grass along its banks grows faster than anywhere else in Newtown. Chad's Lawncare meets it head-on — weekly mowing, string trimming, crisp edges along walks and drives, and the seasonal cleanups that bracket the growing months. Spring in this valley is a sprint, and a missed week turns a lawn into a hayfield. Staying on schedule through it, yard after yard, is most of the trick. The rest is the finish: everything cut to one height, every border defined, the walk swept before the truck pulls away.
