Come October the fairgrounds fill up and half of Essex County drives Route 1 into Topsfield, and the yards along the way get looked at hard. Double J Landscaping, LLC keeps them ready: mowing on a schedule you could set a watch by, trimming close to the fence line, hauling off the leaf drop before it mats down the grass. In midsummer the cut stripes run long across a Topsfield lawn in the late light, which is a small thing to be proud of and worth doing right. By January the work is plowing — drives opened, salt on the walk, a path to the mailbox that takes no second thought. Different tools, the same habit of showing up.
