North of the city center, past Fitzgerald Lake, Northampton stops being a downtown and turns back into farm road — hayfields, hedgerows, long gravel drives and houses set well back from the pavement. Morse Mowing and Landscaping works that side of town, where a lawn can be an acre of open ground with a treeline at the far end and heat shimmering over it in July. Big yards ask for a different kind of care than small ones: a clean turn at every corner, trim work along the whole fence run, an edge cut where grass meets stone dust. Spring cleanup out here is a real haul, winter deadfall and matted leaves off the woods edge, and fall is a long steady campaign of oak and ash. When the last pass is done and the mower shuts off, the field-sized lawn lies there in even stripes, and the quiet comes back in.
