By mid-July the heat sits still over Route 67 and the grass grows anyway. Brookfield Lawn Care & Mowing keeps the weekly rhythm all summer — mowing, string trimming, then blowing the clippings back off the walk so nothing tracks indoors. Afternoons out this way smell like cut grass and warm pavement, and the good sound is the mower dropping in pitch as it takes a thick corner. A lawn cut on schedule holds its color and its line; one left to go shaggy takes weeks to forgive you. It is patient, repeating work in a town where people notice which yards get it.
