Athol sits down in a valley with the Millers River running through the middle of it, which means mornings here start cool and stay damp longer than they do most places. AJ Enterprises, Inc. works with that instead of against it — mowing once the dew has let go, edging the walks clean, keeping the trim tight around posts and maple trunks. A yard that reads well from the street is mostly patience: even stripes, a hard line where the grass stops and the driveway begins, no clippings left behind. The growing season is short in this corner of Worcester County, so every week counts and none get skipped. Lawn care for Athol and the North Quabbin towns around it.
