Grafton Hill is triple-deckers and small front yards, each one a green square held between a porch and a sidewalk. Ford's Hometown Services keeps that kind of lawn looking like someone means it, mowed on a schedule, trimmed along the granite curb, edged where the grass tries to creep over concrete. Worcester summers arrive humid and the grass answers fast, so the rhythm through July is steady and unglamorous. In spring the beds get opened up and the winter's litter carried off; in autumn the leaves get gathered before they mat down. Small yards, done right, are what a street looks like when it is looking after itself.
