Groton mornings start high up, where the hayfields on Gibbet Hill go silver with dew and the cattle stand around like they own the whole valley. Block & Blade Landscaping works the lawns spread out below that ridge — mowing, edging, keeping beds neat from the town center out toward the orchard roads. There is a plain kind of satisfaction in the last pass of a job: the stripes running true, the line along the walkway cut clean, the clippings blown off the drive before the truck pulls away. Grass here runs hard through June and slows to a whisper by October, and the schedule bends to meet it. Ordinary work, done with care, and you can read it from the road.
