Blandford sits high enough in the hills that spring arrives a couple of weeks late and winter hangs on a couple of weeks longer than it does down in the valley. Green Top Turf LLC works that hilltown calendar from both ends, plowing the long sloped driveways, shoveling walkways and salting the steep spots when the snow line drops below Route 23, then mowing, trimming, edging and cleaning up yards once the grass finally comes on. Up here a storm can be rain at the bottom of the hill and eight inches at the top, so the truck goes by elevation as much as by the clock. Summer is short and bright, and a lawn cut clean against the woods line looks like something earned. Whichever season it is, the standard is the same: open pavement, even turf, tidy edges.
