July on Lake Maspenock: heat sitting flat on the water, cicadas going in the oaks, and grass growing faster than anyone planned for. Summerfield Landscape & Construction keeps Hopkinton's lawns ahead of it — mowing on a weekly turn, trimming and edging the borders, mulching beds, and hauling the yard out in spring and again when the leaves drop. Summer weather here swings from downpour to drought, so the cut height changes with whatever the season is doing. A lawn that looks calm in August took some judgment back in June. That part is worth taking pride in.
