Late August evenings out toward Trout Brook come in gold and low, and the lawns hold that light for an hour after the mowers stop. Dave's Tree Care works Holden yards on the ordinary weekly rhythm — cutting, trimming, edging the walks and beds, tidying everything down before leaving the driveway. Under the big canopies around Chaffins, grass needs feeding and overseeding far more than it needs anything clever. March cleanups clear the winter's litter off the turf; the fall work takes the leaves down as they come rather than all at the end. What gets left behind each week is a yard that looks like somebody is paying attention, because somebody is.
