Farmington is a town built on a grade, its streets rising out of the valley toward the long green shoulder of Blue Job and the hills behind it. Ascend Property Maintenance LLC works those pitched dooryards and hillside lawns, mowing the slopes, trimming what the mower can't reach and edging the drives so the gravel stays where it belongs. On a bright June morning the whole hillside smells like cut grass, and the finished yards step down the slope in tidy bands. Cleanups in spring and fall clear away what winter and autumn leave scattered. It is straightforward work, done well, on ground that never sits flat.
