Along Wallingford's older streets, where clapboard houses hold their line behind low stone walls and the maples lean out over the asphalt, a cut lawn is a small act of order. Arroyo's Landscaping tends these dooryards and back plots in the Quinnipiac valley, running the mower in clean parallel lanes and drawing a crisp edge where the grass meets the walk. There is a plain pleasure in a yard mown even under the flat central-Connecticut light, the clippings cleared and the ground left tidy so the whole property seems to sit up a little straighter. When the season turns and the leaves let go off the traprock ridges, the work shifts to raking and hauling the fallen weight away. It is steady, honest labor, and it keeps the town's green looking cared for through the long weeks of summer.
