Saturday morning in Southbridge starts on the streets that step down toward the river, tight yards wedged between three-deckers with just room enough to turn a mower. MaukesMowingandMore takes them one at a time — cutting, trimming close along fences and foundations, edging the front walk until the line is unmistakable from the sidewalk. Spring means raking out everything winter left in the corners, and late fall means leaves off the grass before the first wet snow pins them down. Small yards reward exactness, because there is nowhere for a missed pass to hide. Working up a block and looking back at every strip of lawn squared away makes the early start worth it.
