Hillsborough's old stone arch bridges have stood over Beard Brook without a drop of mortar, which tells you something about how this town builds. TM&M Services takes the same view of a winter night: plow the drive wide, sand the pitch, clear the walk right to the door, and come back when the wind fills it in again. In the green months the work turns to mowing, string trimming and cleanups on those same properties, from the village up the hill roads toward Hillsborough Center and Fox Forest. Route 9 weather can be its own animal, rain in town and snow four miles up, so the schedule follows the ground rather than the forecast. Either half of the year, the aim is the same: a property open, cut and ready to use.
