The Hubbard River drops through the state forest in a run of ledges, and in September the water comes clear and cold under a canopy just beginning to turn. Weaver Lawn and Landscaping tends the yards and grounds of Granville and its hill roads — regular mowing, edging, trimming, bed mulching, and the cleanups that bracket the growing year. West Granville is stone walls and long dooryards, so the mowing line follows two centuries of somebody else's fieldwork. Fall arrives early and in earnest up here, and getting leaves off a lawn before the first freeze is what keeps it alive to green up in April. A hilltown yard that looks kept without looking fussed over is the aim.
