Come October the oaks around the Sherborn Town Forest let go nearly all at once, and every lawn in town disappears under a layer of brown. Yard Dogs Landscape Co. shows up for exactly that, along with the mowing, trimming, edging and mulching that carry a yard through the growing months in a steady weekly rhythm. When the cold sets in the work shifts to plowing driveways, clearing walkways, and spreading salt and sand on the turns and grades that catch a glaze overnight. There is a particular pride in the last cut of the year, and another kind in the first clean pass of the first storm. Different months, same yards, same hands on the work.
