Hanson sits in growing zone six, where winter is genuine and spring keeps you waiting — precisely the ground zone SIX Landscape Services takes its name from. The year opens with snow: plowed driveways, cleared walks, sand on the ice that sets in the pine shade along High Street. Then the thaw, the cleanup, the first mow, and month after month of mowing, trimming and edging until the light goes short again. Working a hard zone teaches patience with grass and speed with storms, and both show in the finished yard. Hanson is home, and the trucks also run to the towns around it.
