Thursday afternoon, the route running in its usual order, the ramps dropping in the same driveways they dropped in last week. Lawn-Pro Lawncare Service, Inc. keeps Plainville yards on that steady weekly cadence — mowing, trimming around posts and foundations, edging the walks, blowing the clippings clean, mulching the beds, and clearing the whole yard out in spring and again in fall. Down toward Whiting Pond the ground holds a shade more moisture and the grass runs about a week ahead of the rest of town; you learn things like that by driving them. None of it is dramatic. But there is a real feeling in the last look back at a property — stripes laid even across the front lawn, every corner squared away.
