Spring runoff comes down hard through Sturbridge; the flood-control ground at Westville takes the worst of it while the low yards in town stay spongy for weeks. Digging Dogs Excavation works with that reality — grading a lawn so the water leaves it, then building the ground back with soil, seed and mulch until it knits. The rest of the year is upkeep: mowing, trimming, bed edging, and cleanups when the leaves come down. There is a plain pride in walking a repaired yard after a June thunderstorm and finding no puddle where one always used to be.
