Union is mostly forest — Bigelow Hollow, the Nipmuck woods, Mashapaug's dark water — and a lawn out here is a clearing you hold on purpose. Village Landscaping & Landscape Supply mows and trims those clearings, keeping the line where mown grass meets the treeline from wandering inward. Mulch, soil and stone come out of the yard for the beds and drives that need them. Spring cleanup clears a winter's worth of fallen branches; the autumn run takes the oak leaves, which arrive late and heavy in this corner of the state. On a still evening the mower shuts off and there is nothing left out here to hear.
