Plymouth sits high enough that spring turns up a week late and then hurries — by mid-June the hillsides above Lake Plymouth are dense green and the grass is growing faster than anyone planned for. Keeping pace means a real routine: mowing on time, trimming around the ledges and rock outcrops that surface in half the yards here, edging walks and drives so a property has clean outlines again. Cleanups handle the rest, spring and fall, when the hill woods send their debris down. Mowing a sloped yard in this town is honest work, and the view from the top of one on a clear June evening is a fair trade. A tidy lawn on a Plymouth hillside is a good thing to leave behind at the end of a day.
