In Housatonic the river bends slow past the old mill, and the village yards run right down toward the water. J.D. Services mows and maintains lawns around Great Barrington — weekly cutting, edge work along walks and drives, trimming, mulch, and cleanups in spring and fall. July mornings the fog lifts off the Housatonic and burns away by nine, and after that the grass grows like it means something. Small village lots reward precision: get the edges right and the whole yard reads as finished. It is steady work in a valley that greens up fast and holds it well into October.
