Walk the shore path at Dunn Pond in October and the whole town seems to exhale at once. Signature Grounds spends the warm months on the details that make a property look composed from the sidewalk — mowed lines running the same direction every visit, trimmed corners, a clean edge held straight along the drive. Gardner summers stay cool and green, fed by Perley Brook and the reservoirs above it, so lawns here keep their color when flatter towns go brown. When the leaves come, the work turns to cleanups: beds cleared, lawns raked and blown, everything carried off so the grass goes into winter breathing. A finished yard is a small signature, and it's the reason to do the last ten percent.
