Evening in Willington: the light goes long across the dooryards, somebody's mower is finishing up two roads over, and the smell of cut grass hangs in the cool coming down off the hill. Dot's Lawn Service LLC is part of that sound from April to October — mowing, edging, trimming, mulch, and the cleanups at either end of the season. Then the year flips, and those same driveways need plowing, blowing and shoveling, with salt and sand on the walks and the steep stretches. Winter in this corner of Connecticut is long and serious; storms stack up and the routine has to hold. Both halves of the year come down to one thing — showing up when the weather says so.
