Midsummer in Shrewsbury: backyards sloping down toward Jordan Pond, the grass thick, the afternoon holding perfectly still. Summit outdoor services keeps those yards on schedule with weekly mowing, trimming and edging, and the clippings cleared off the drive before the truck rolls. Sloped ground makes a mower work for its stripes, and there is something good about looking back up a hill at lines that ran true. Spring opens with a cleanup, fall ends with the leaves, and the middle is all grass. In a town this green, keeping up is the entire art.
