In May everything in Shirley grows at once — the brook bottoms greening up, brush pushing out of the stone walls, field edges closing in on the mown ground while your back is turned. Native Horizons Vegetation Management takes that on directly: mowing, trimming, and cutting back the overgrowth where a lawn stops being a lawn and starts being woods. Properties along the Squannacook and Mulpus Brook country tend to have that soft border, and holding it takes a regular hand rather than one heroic afternoon. The work runs from routine mowing through clearing the tangled corners nobody wants to walk into. Done right, the line between kept and wild looks intentional, which is the whole idea.
