Down on the low ground where the Mill River works its way south, the first real squall of December usually arrives without much announcement. Jeff's Landscape Inc. is out in it — plowing driveways, clearing walkways, shoveling the steps and stairs a blade will never reach, and putting sand down where the wind scours the pavement bare and slick. The other half of the year belongs to grass: mowing, edging, trimming, mulching, and the spring and fall cleanups that bracket the whole growing season. Wakefield hands you both extremes inside a few short months, and the properties that look best are the ones tended through each. Twelve months, one standard.
