King Street carries most of Franklin's errands, and the properties along it have to work in every kind of weather — dry underfoot in July, passable at six in the morning after a nor'easter. Briggs Property Maintenance keeps both ends of that. Warm months mean mowing, trimming, edging and the seasonal cleanups that make a property look like somebody is paying attention. Cold months mean plowing, opening lots and drives, shoveling walkways and salting where the foot traffic funnels. The measure is simple: nobody notices the grounds, because there is nothing to notice.
