September in North Grosvenordale: the mill pond flat as glass at daybreak, the light thinning out, the grass slowing but not stopping. Thompson's Lawn Maintenance LLC carries lawns through that turn — regular mowing, trimming around posts, hydrants and beds, crisp edging, and the cleanups that handle both ends of the year. Autumn asks for leaf work; spring asks for clearing off whatever the winter dumped and left. In between it is the plain, pleasing job of cutting grass on time and doing it the same way twice. Kept-up yards are half of what makes an old mill village look loved.
