Where the yard ends the woods begin, and in Hubbardston that is most of the map: brush edges running down toward the Ware River headwaters and the beaver meadows beyond. GreenGuard Lawn and Tick tends the green side of that line, feeding and thickening turf, treating weeds, and keeping the border where lawn meets brush cut back and cared for. Dew sits late here in the shade of white pine, so timing an application means watching the ground as much as the sky. By August the thin sandy patches want overseeding, and by the following June nobody can tell they were ever there. What they are after is a lawn a family will actually walk across barefoot.
