Up in the White Hills the land tips into long open slopes — berry rows, Christmas-tree ranks, hayground with the ridge standing behind it. Ober's Lawn Care LLC mows in that upcountry part of Shelton, where a single property can carry more grass than a whole street downtown. October is the handsome month here: the cut goes short for the last time, the maples turn along the stone walls, and the fields hold their lines all the way to the treeline. The work is mowing and trimming, plus clearing leaves off the turf before they mat down and smother it. Broad ground, cut clean, with a view thrown in.
