Country Pond sets the tone in Newton: green and busy with boats in August, then a flat white plate with bob houses scattered on it by January. Bedard & Son Landscaping LLC follows that calendar — mowing, trimming, edging, mulching and full cleanups in spring and fall while the season is open, then snow plowing, driveway and lot clearing, shoveled walks and sanding once it closes. Down here near the Massachusetts line the storms come in warm and heavy and set up hard overnight. Both halves of the year come down to the same thing: a property that looks handled. Sharp lawn in July, open driveway in February.
