Autumn leans into Clinton with the light coming in low over the Nashua valley, and the work turns with it — the last mowing lines laid down one week, the plow blades hung and checked the next. Monge's Landscaping & Construction Inc keeps lawns cut, trimmed, and edged through the green months on the hill streets above the old mill blocks, then meets winter head-on, opening driveways and walks while the town is still dark. There is a plain satisfaction in all of it: a crisp border drawn along a granite curb, a yard raked out and holding its shape into November, a dooryard cleared to bare pavement with the reservoir wind still moving through the pines. Clinton and the towns around it wear that care season after season, one property at a time.
