Batchelor Brook runs low and bright through Granby in late summer, and the lawns above it green up fast after every thunderstorm that rolls up the valley. Champion Tree & Lawn Care Inc. works to that rhythm — mowing on a set week, edging beds and walks, string trimming the awkward corners, mulch laid down, cleanups hauled out by the truckload in spring and fall. Winter turns the same attention onto pavement: plowing driveways and lots, shoveling walkways and steps, spreading salt and sand where the cold takes hold first. Granby spreads itself out over hills and back roads, and every one of them needs somebody paying attention. Getting a place cleared, cut and squared away is worth the miles.
