Mist sits on Sandy Pond until the sun clears the treeline, and by then the first lawn of the day is already half cut. Big Bear Lawn Care and Snow Removal works the Lincoln properties where open field runs up against woods, mowing in long straight passes and running the trimmer into every corner a deck can't reach. Spring starts with a cleanup that pulls a winter's worth of matted leaves out of the beds, and October ends with the same care in reverse. There is a real pleasure in a stripe laid down clean across a wide yard and the driveway apron blown bare behind it. Lincoln is a town of long views, and a well-kept lawn belongs to the view.
