Stoughton wakes in stages, and the driveways are ready before most of them are. Absolute Landscaping runs the winter route while Central Street is still one long line of streetlamps — a clean pass down the drive, the walk opened, the mailbox apron squared off so the mail actually comes. In summer the same loop runs to a different sound: mower, trimmer, then the last blades blown off the pavement so the edge reads sharp from the street. Lawn work while the ground is growing, plowing and salting once it goes hard, and in both the same satisfaction of a property that looks finished. Nobody has to ask twice; it is simply done.
