Late October on the Mont Vernon ridge, the work turns with the light — mowers wiped down and put up one week, plow rigs looked over the next. Rye Landscaping keeps lawns through the green months up here where the village sits high above the Souhegan valley, drawing clean lines between old stone walls and sugar maples, then comes back in winter to open a driveway before the hill road is awake. Their landscape installs are the kind of work that stays put: beds set, ground shaped, a yard given a form it can hold for years. There's a plain satisfaction in a hilltop dooryard that looks tended in any weather — mown crisp in July, scraped down to dark pavement in February, and those long New Hampshire views running out past it either way.
