Late on an August evening the Upper Hill streets go gold, the yards tipping down toward the river, every lawn catching the light sideways. O'Brien's Lawncare mows those terraces on a set week — trimming close along retaining walls, edging the walks, clearing clippings so a sidewalk stays a sidewalk. Sloped ground shows every uneven pass, so the lines are worth taking slowly. Spring brings the wake-up tidy, and come November the leaves leave the hill in earnest. Springfield yards look their best when somebody minds the small things, and that is the whole of the business.
