The Quaboag River runs slow through Brookfield, and the fields along it hold a green the hill ground above never quite matches. Lamoureux Landscape Company keeps lawns to that valley standard — mowing on a weekly turn through the long summer, trimming close to stone walls and fence posts, edging the drives and clearing beds at both ends of the season. Country properties run larger and the mowing lines run longer, which makes a well-cut lawn something you can read from the road. Autumn drops a great deal of leaf across this valley, and it all gets gathered before the first hard frost. A tidy yard in the Brookfields is a quiet form of good manners.
