There is a wide, flat light out by the Norwood airport that you do not get anywhere else in town — small planes turning in the pattern, the wind sock lazy, grass running out to the fence line in every direction. Surv of Needham & Norwood keeps lawns looking that open and that even: mowing on schedule, edging along walks and drives, trimming around posts and beds, clearing clippings and leaves as the year turns over. In high summer the work starts early, ahead of the heat, and moves house to house across two towns that sit only a few miles apart. A cut lawn is a small, honest thing — straight lines, one level height, the smell of it hanging around until evening. It makes a whole street look cared for.
