Stiles Pond freezes from the shore inward, and that is how a year in Boxford turns — slowly, at the edges first. DiNanno Landscape works both ends of it: mowers and mulch while the maples along Elm Street are full, plow and spreader when the same road goes white overnight. The lawns out here are wide and uneven and ringed by woods, so keeping one looking level takes attention every week rather than one big day in May. In winter the measure gets simpler — a driveway scraped open, a path to the door, sand where a slope wants to throw a car sideways. Knowing the same properties in both languages means neither season ever comes as a surprise.
