Butler Flats light stands offshore in every kind of weather New Bedford gets, and the city's yards take that same full range. Village Lawn Company LLC mows, trims and edges through the growing months, holding lawns even from the first warm week to the last, then turns to plowing, shoveling and salting once winter takes the city over. Fall cleanups sit right in the middle: leaves gathered, grass cut down, everything squared away for whatever the bay decides to send. Winter work begins in the dark and ends with a driveway a person can cross in ordinary shoes. Both halves come down to the same idea — a property that is ready for the day ahead.
