By late May the meadows on Shelton's western farms have gone tall and shot through with buttercups, and every lawn in town is asking for a weekly visit. Shelton Mowing does exactly what its name says — mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups, kept to a schedule so no yard ever gets away from itself. There is real craft in a single-purpose job done properly: the right height, straight passes, clean corners, clippings cleared off the walk. A lawn like that makes the whole house look better without changing a thing about it. This town is worth showing up for, week after week, from thaw to leaf-fall.
