About Chapin's Lawn Service - Lawn Care and Maintenance Company in Turners Falls MA
The Millers River keeps its own clock through Orange, running bright under the Route 2 bridges while the yards above it are still gray with dew. Chapin's Lawn Service starts there, on grass that comes on fast in the damp June air of the valley and needs a steady hand to keep it honest. A mown stripe laid straight across a north-county yard, an edge cut clean along the front walk — that is the whole argument, and it holds up in full daylight. The route runs from the mill-brick blocks downtown out toward Turners Falls, where the green arrives a week ahead of the hill farms. On a long July evening, a lawn done right stops being a chore and becomes simply a place to stand.
