Early on a Clinton morning, before the light has cleared the high ground above the Wachusett water, the mower is already off the trailer and the dew still silvers the grass. Helping Hands Home Improvement & Landscape works the lawns of these steep mill-town streets above the Nashua River — mowing, trimming, edging, and the seasonal cleanups that carry a yard from ragged to composed in a single afternoon. There is a plain pleasure in the finish: stripes laid straight across a slope, an edge cut clean along a granite curb, clippings gathered and the walk swept behind them. It is work you can stand back and see, and it holds — through the long green weeks of summer and on into the low gold light of a Clinton October.
