The Housatonic loops slow and brown-green through Stockbridge, and the whole valley holds a soft, cupped light that anyone who tends ground here eventually learns to work with. Berkshire Greenscapes keeps lawns in that light — mowing, trimming, edging, and clearing out the yard at the front and back ends of the growing season, when the maples above Main Street either leaf out or let go all at once. Berkshire summers are generous with rain and quick with growth, so a lawn can get away from you in a week; the work is about staying just ahead of it. On a July evening, with music drifting over from Tanglewood and the ridges going blue, a freshly cut yard is about as good as a place can look. That's the result worth driving up the hill for.
