By June the old walls in Paxton are half-buried in fern and the grass beside them is thick enough to hold a footprint. Paxton Landscaping & Masonry keeps that green in hand without taking the character out of it — mowing on a steady rotation, trimming close along wall, post and tree line, edging drives and walks to a clean seam. Mulch goes into the beds in spring, and the cleanups at either end of the year carry a yard from bare to lush and back again. Up on this hill the growing months are short and they run hard, so a missed week shows immediately. Their ground runs through Paxton and out to Holden, Leicester, Spencer and Oakham.
