Every spring the great blue herons come back to the rookery at Baker's Lake, and Barrington knows the season has turned for real. That is when Down to Earth Landscaping trades the plow for the mower — clearing the winter's litter out of lawns and beds, opening the turf back up, then into the weekly rhythm of cut, trim and edge that carries a yard from April rain through August heat. At the far end of the year the leaves come down, the beds get put away, and the truck goes back on plow duty for driveways, walks and salt. Two trades, one property, all twelve months of it. There is real pride in handing someone the same lawn in June that you handed them a cleared drive in January.
