Off Route 113, a boulder the ice left behind sits in the Madison woods, and everything around it — the ferns, the pines, the dooryards up the road — has grown in on its own terms. AFH Earthworks LLC works the tended half of that picture: mowing, string trimming, edging, mulch laid clean around the beds. Mornings here start cool even in July, dew silvering the grass until the sun clears the trees, and the first pass of the day leaves a stripe you can see from the porch. There is real satisfaction in a lawn that ends in a crisp line where the field or the driveway begins. Spring cleanups pull the winter's litter off; fall cleanups take the leaves before they mat and smother what is underneath. Madison ground is rocky and rooty and worth every bit of the care it asks for.
