Where the Flat River slides into the Grand, Lowell keeps a green, water-fed kind of summer, and the mowing follows it — long afternoons, the smell of cut grass drifting up off the bottomlands. Ace Hardscaping LLC works those yards through the warm months and comes back to the same addresses in January, when the driveways go white overnight. Snow reaches Kent County from clear across the state in bands that can bury a turnaround while a household sleeps. The reward is the morning shot: a lane plowed down to pavement, banks squared off, and nobody late for work. It is plain outdoor work in a village that notices when things are kept up.
