Mist gathers over Ames Long Pond on June mornings and drifts into the low yards nearby, and by nine the sun has taken it all back. C&D landscaping likes the hour just after that, when the grass has dried enough to cut clean and the day has not turned heavy yet. Mowing, string trimming, bed edging, mulch laid smooth, and the leaf work that closes out October — the ordinary rounds that keep a Stoughton yard looking cared for week after week. The finish is the point: stripes running true, tight corners handled by hand, nothing left scattered on the walk. It is a small thing to notice from the driveway and a good thing to come home to.
