Down by the Farmington River the Pinchot Sycamore spreads wider than any other tree in Connecticut, and the flower bridge upstream hangs with baskets all summer — Simsbury likes a thing well kept. Yard care works to that standard on a smaller scale: weekly mowing, trimming around posts and beds, edges held along drives and the walkways that run out toward the old canal trail. Mornings on the valley floor start cool and misty, and grass cut early holds its color better through the afternoon. The result is plain and satisfying — a yard level, uniform and finished right out to its borders. Simple work, done where the river turns everything green.
