In April the Willimantic River runs high past the old mill blocks, and the first mow of the year in Windham is the cut that changes everything. Turf Wizards Lawn Care LLC keeps it going straight through — weekly passes, tight trim work, mulched beds and edges cut in along walks and drives — then closes the year with leaves off the lawn and out to the curb. When January hardens, those same trucks push snow: driveways and lots opened, walks shoveled, sand laid down where the mill-hill streets turn glassy. Thread City weather can deal out rain, ice and thaw inside a single week, which keeps the days from blurring together. Whichever half of the year it is, the aim doesn't change — get there early, leave it clean.
