Gill runs long beside the Connecticut River, from Barton Cove up under the French King Bridge where the gorge narrows and the water turns dark and quick. Gill Services Contracting Co. works both halves of the year along it — mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups on farm-country lots and river-road houses, then plowing, shoveling and salting once Route 2 goes white. Storms track up the valley and stall over this corner of Franklin County, so driveways get cut open at first light and sand goes down on the steep pitches first. In the green months, an even cut running out toward the fields is its own kind of order. Lawn care and snow removal in Gill, Turners Falls, Greenfield, Bernardston and Northfield.
