About Back-40 Landscaping

By late May the back acres around Greenwood are green enough to hide a fence post, and everything is growing at once. Back-40 Landscaping takes the yards that run out toward the woodlot line — mowing what the house needs and a good deal more, trimming along the swamp edge where cedar and brush push in, clearing away what the wind put down over winter. There is plenty of turning and backing in a yard like that, and it takes patience to leave the whole thing even. Come evening, with the cut finished and the dew starting, a big country lawn goes still and looks it. Around Greenwood, that stillness is what a mowed yard is for.
