Late August in Shrewsbury carries a particular gold — long light lying across Flint Pond, the grass slowing, crickets starting up in the hedgerows. Atchley lawn and landscape works through that light, mowing, trimming, and hauling off whatever the season sheds. A lawn is a small landscape, and it answers to attention: straight edges along the walk, clean lines around the beds, nothing left behind but the smell of cut grass. The year opens with a spring cleanup and ends with the leaves, and the weeks between are held together by simply showing up. It is work anyone can see from the road, which is reason enough to do it right.
