Milford's soil sits on pink granite — the same stone the town once cut from its ledges and shipped out by rail — and grass grown over that bedrock has a stubbornness all its own. Dardah Landscaping, Inc. works with that character instead of against it, mowing, trimming and edging yards from the old quarry streets to the newer roads on the west side of town. April comes on slowly here and then all at once, one warm week turning the whole town green and hungry for a cut. The pleasure is in the walk-away moment: stripes running true, bed lines cut clean, not a clipping left where it shouldn't be. Spring and fall cleanups bookend the year, and fresh mulch goes down dark under the first of the daffodils.
