April in Wallingford is loud with mowers — Doolittle Park greens up, the Cook Hill yards come out of their winter gray, and everything wants a first cut at once. Wallingford lawn mowing takes the town at its plainest: mow it, trim it, edge it, carry off the clippings, come back next week. The spring pass lifts the winter litter off the turf so the blades can stand up; the fall pass takes the leaves away before snow packs them flat. No mystery in any of it, just a lawn that stays short and even from the first warm week to the last. Named for the town and worked in the town.
