Summer evenings in Shirley have a quality all their own, heat lifting off the fields below Benjamin Hill and Catacoonamug Brook running low and loud in the shade. M&M Trees LLC spends those days on lawn care: mowing, string-trimming fence lines and foundations, edging walks and drives, mulching beds, and hauling off clippings and seasonal yard debris. A lawn in this corner of Worcester County has to contend with sandy stretches, deep shade under old maples, and the odd granite ledge sitting just below the surface. The pleasure is in how it all reads at six o'clock, stripes running true and edges cut sharp against the pavement. A well-kept yard is a small thing that changes how an entire street feels.
