Late October in Moultonborough runs two seasons together — mowers still going out over lawns gone slow and blue-green, plow gear already staged for the first hard morning off Winnipesaukee. M&L Landscaping works both halves of that year in the shadow of the Ossipees and Red Hill: lawn care through the long green months, snow removal down the pine-dark driveways when the wind carries it in sideways off the lake. There is a plain satisfaction in a mowing line laid straight across a sloping shore lot, and more in a drive scraped clean to the gravel before anyone in the house has found their boots. They keep to Moultonborough and the towns close around it — Center Harbor, Meredith, Sandwich, Tuftonboro — the sort of ground where the work shows plainly and a yard holds its season.
