Old hedges line the front walks on Palmer's mill-village streets, planted long ago by people who fully expected them to be kept. Hedge-hog Bush Trimming Plus LLC keeps them — shrubs and hedges shaped square or round as they were meant to be, overgrowth taken back off the windows, clippings hauled away so nothing is left to brown on the grass. Alongside the shearing runs the rest of the yard: mowing, edging, bed cleanup and the seasonal rounds in spring and fall. There is a particular hush around a hedge just cut true, its shadow line running dead straight down the sidewalk. Lawn care and trimming in Palmer and the towns nearby.
