From the top of Hermon Mountain you can see the whole shape of this town — fields, woodlots, a few steeples, and roads running straight out toward Carmel and Levant. Laplante's Lawn Care works that same ground twice over: mowing, trimming and cleanups while the grass is running, plowing and shoveling once the ground goes hard. Summer mornings start early to beat the heat; winter mornings start earlier still, because a driveway has to be open before the school bus comes through. Both jobs end the same way, with a property that looks looked-after from the road. That continuity — one outfit that knows where your culvert is under the snow — is the good part.
