East of the center the ground tilts up toward the Pelham hills, orchard rows and old pasture catching the first cool nights of September. Katilus Landscape Contracting keeps lawns and beds in shape across that rising ground — mowing, trimming and edging, bed and border maintenance, and cleanups when the season turns. Hillside yards are their own puzzle, with slopes to mow across and shade that changes what the grass wants. Getting it right shows in the particulars: a border that follows the walk exactly, a lawn that greens evenly from the road to the tree line. September light in Amherst forgives almost nothing, which is precisely what makes a well-kept yard stand out.
