First thaw in Putnam shows itself along the river, where the Quinebaug runs loud with meltwater and the banks go green weeks before anybody's yard does. Eclipse Landscaping keeps pace with that turn, handling lawn care through the growing months as the light stretches out toward the long August evenings. Then the year swings the other way and the work becomes snow: a driveway opened, a way made to the door before the town is properly awake. The hills around town stack drifts unevenly and every property has its own trouble spot to learn. Two seasons, one yard, looked after in both.
