Come October the ridges above Windham turn over all at once, and the old rail grade running east fills with fallen leaf. WatersLandscaping spends that stretch with rakes and blowers, hauling the maples off Windham lawns before the first hard freeze locks them down, then comes back in April to do the reverse. Between those two bookends it is weekly mowing, edged walks, trimmed fence lines and beds kept honest. The soil here runs thin over ledge in some places and deep and dark in others, and a lawn will tell you which one it is sitting on. Holding a yard's color through an eastern Connecticut August takes attention more than anything else, and the ones that get it are easy to pick out from the road.
