About Lakeside Landscaping

The morning starts with a pull of the cord and a first pass across grass still heavy with dew, blades set high, one line drawn straight and then drawn again beside it. Lakeside Landscaping keeps lawns in Belmont, where the soil runs sandy over glacial till and the late light comes off Lake Winnisquam and Silver Lake in long sheets that turn a cut yard to felt. The work is mowing, trimming, edging along walks and drives, and the patient raking-out that opens a lawn in spring and puts it down in fall — the same few motions repeated until the turf sits even down the middle and stops crisp at its border. Out past the old brick mill on the Tioga River and up the hill roads off Route 106 and 140, what they leave behind is that clean line where green ends and pavement begins.
