Wind crosses Horse Pond in January and finds every open driveway on that side of North Brookfield. Ice Rose Hardscape & Construction LLC works both ends of the year here — mowing and trimming through the growing months, plowing and de-icing once the pond skins over. Ground this old is full of granite; the lawns fit themselves around the ledge, and so does the work. Winter rewards being early rather than fast, sanding the shaded curve before the sun has any chance of reaching it. Summer rewards the opposite — patience, and one straight line held all the way to the fence.
