Midsummer at Hickory Hills, the heat sits down on the water and the grass on the slopes above it grows an inch every time you look away. Jacobs Landscaping stays ahead of it — regular mowing, trimmed edges, beds kept clean, and cleanups scheduled for both shoulders of the year. In January the work turns hard and early: plowing, walkways cleared, ice treated on the steep drives that run down toward the shore. Lunenburg's hills are lovely in July and unforgiving in a hard freeze, and the trucks come to know every one of them. Either season, the aim is a place that's ready before anyone needs it to be.
