Up on Fort Hill, where Oxford's first Huguenot settlers set their stockade, you can still read the shape of the land — ridges, wet bottoms, the tilt that decides where water and snow will go. A landscaping outfit that works both halves of the year learns to read those same lines on every property it takes on. Warm months are mowing, trimming, edging, mulch and seasonal cleanups on a route through town. Cold months are plowing, shoveling walks, and sanding and salting driveways and lots before daylight. Same properties, same hands, two very different kinds of quiet. Oxford plus Auburn, Charlton, Dudley, Webster, Sutton and Leicester.
