Stafford Springs wakes early — brick mill walls holding the cold, the Main Street lots empty and streetlit at five in the morning. That is the hour for plowing, scraping and salting, so that by opening time the pavement is dark and the walks are clear underfoot. Come June the same properties want something else entirely: grass held to an even height, edges cut clean along the curb, the ragged corners tidied before the week begins. Executive Management Group LLC keeps both halves of that calendar for Stafford, from mowing and seasonal cleanups to winter clearing. The pleasure of the work is in the before and after, repeated all year long.
