Along the western edge of the city the Connecticut runs wide and unhurried, and in October the sycamores over it drop leaves the size of dinner plates. S & S Landscaping LLC stays out ahead of them: lawns mowed while there is still growth in the blade, leaves cleared, beds cut back, the whole yard squared away before the ground goes hard. Through the green months it is mowing, edging, trimming, mulch and hedges on a set rotation. Through the white ones it is plowing, shoveled entryways and salt laid down before the ice can take hold. Same river, same city, two entirely different kinds of good day.
