By late afternoon in July the light over Plympton's hayfields goes long and gold, and the Winnetuxet slides along under its alders without hurry. Brendan's Landscape & Tree Service keeps lawns in that light — mowing on a steady rhythm, trimming close along fence posts and stone walls, and hauling out the debris the oaks send down in spring and fall. The pleasure of it is the last pass of the day: mower shut off, clippings blown from the walk, an edge crisp enough to run a finger along. Plympton yards are wide, sandy and shaded in patches, so no two want exactly the same schedule. This is lawn care measured out one property at a time, on roads where the same truck passes the same mailboxes all summer long.
