By late June the light over Douglas goes gold around seven, slanting off the Mumford River and up the lawns toward the common. That is Lawn&Order Lawn Care's favorite hour to look back at a finished yard: stripes lying straight, the edge along the walk cut sharp enough to run a finger down, clippings blown off the drive. Summer here is humid and fast — grass in the low ground near Whitin Reservoir grows like it means it — so the schedule holds its rhythm week after week. Come October the maples let go all at once and the work turns to pulling leaves off the turf before the first hard rain mats them down. Ordinary services, done carefully, on the lawns of a town that notices.
