By the middle of May the lilacs are out around the Union Common and the grass has gone from brown to unreasonable in roughly ten days. Collins Custom Services meets it right there — spring cleanups first, raking off the winter mat, then mowing and trimming on a schedule that never lets a lawn get ahead of anybody. Edging along drives and walkways is the detail that makes the difference; it is the line the eye follows in. The route runs through the village and out the back roads toward the ponds, one property after another, all summer long. Fall brings the leaves down and the cleanup work out, and the year closes tidy.
