Keene lies low in the Ashuelot valley, where the river slides past old brick mills and the hills of Cheshire County lift away toward Monadnock. Ganio Land Management works that ground the way it asks to be worked — setting stone walkways and staircases, laying patios, building walls and retaining walls that take the frost and still hold their line come April. Around the stone go the beds and lawns, planned from the first walk of a property to the last shovelful, then kept and mown and tended through the growing months. Beneath all of it runs the irrigation, quiet and unseen, carrying green through the long dry stretch of August. There is a plain, physical satisfaction in a wall that sits true and a yard that looks like it has always belonged to its hillside, and that is what this crew leaves behind on homes and businesses across Keene and Cheshire County.
