The Merritt's stone bridges cut across the south end of Trumbull, and the streets beneath them keep a certain standard about their front yards. Joses Landscaping helps hold it up — mowing on a schedule, edging beds and walkways, cutting back whatever has gotten ahead of itself, and stripping the yard down top to bottom each spring and fall. Winter changes the tools but not the habit: plows on the driveways, shovels at the steps, salt laid where ice wants to form. A property is a kind of promise made to the street it sits on. The work here is keeping that promise, week in and week out.
