There is a quiet in a lawn cut close and even, its rows lying like combed grain in the low Western Massachusetts light, and that is what Legend Lawn Services leaves on the hillside yards of Russell. This is mowing and lawn care in a mill town folded into the foothills of the Berkshires, where the Westfield River runs bright past Woronoco and the woods climb steep on both sides of Route 20. When the first hard snow banks the valley, the same hands turn to plowing, cutting driveways and dooryards down to the pavement before the day's first errand. From the river flats to the hemlock-shadowed slopes above town, they keep the ground through its turning — trimmed and green in the warm months, opened and passable in the cold — and the plain neatness of it holds.
