This is a city built of granite — mill walls, curbstones, retaining walls holding up half the yards on the hill — and green shows best set against all that grey. Modern Landscaping works the contrast: lawns mowed and striped, beds edged into crisp shapes, trimming tight along stone and iron so nothing reads half-done. Late in the day, when the west light comes up the streets off the Taunton River and lands on a fresh cut, a whole property looks different than it did that morning. Cleanups bracket the season on either end, opening it in spring and closing it in November. There is real pride in leaving a place sharper than you found it.
