Late August in Willington, the light goes long over Moose Meadow and every lawn takes on that low gold for about an hour. Cormier Landscaping LLC is often still out in it — the last stripe laid down, the edges trimmed back off the walk, the clippings blown clear of the drive. Grass in this corner of Tolland County grows in fits: fast through the wet weeks, stubborn through the dry ones, and the cutting height moves with it rather than against it. Cleanups come around twice a year, once for what winter left behind and once for what the hardwoods drop. The pride is in a yard that reads as finished before anyone steps out of the car.
