September light across the open grasslands off Cutler Road turns the whole west side of Hamilton amber by five o'clock. The Lawn Officers keep the town's lawns in that same good order — mowing on a set rotation, trimming, edging, beds tended and mulched. Fall means leaf removal right down to the blade; spring means a cleanup that starts the season from zero. There is a discipline to it: same day, same rotation, no yard skipped because the weather got opinionated. Hamilton notices that kind of thing.
