Smithfield sits between North Pond and East Pond, where the Belgrade chain begins, and half the lawns in town run right down to water. First Idea takes care of those yards — mowing, trimming, edging, and the cleanups that open and close the season. Lakeside grass grows on its own terms: heavy dew until nine, soft ground near the shore, and a hundred feet of frontage that wants an even cut all the way to the last blade. Loons carry across the water in June while the deck is spinning, which is a fair trade for an early start. By Labor Day the camps begin to empty and the mowing goes quiet, one yard at a time.
