Early summer mornings come up off Crystal Lake with the air still cool enough to work in, and that is when Big Boys Services likes to be out. Mowing across Peabody's mix of level house lots and short pitched banks, they keep the cut height honest so the grass holds its color deep into August. Trimming tightens the line around posts, hydrants and mailbox stones; edging gives the driveway that crisp dark seam. Cleanups at either end of the year clear the winter grit and then the maple leaves, which arrive here all at once. By the time the truck moves on, the yard reads as finished — the plain pride of a job anybody can see from the road.
