In Rumney the Baker River runs wide and shallow past the hayfields, and the quartzite walls above town hold the afternoon light long after the valley has gone blue. Central NH Landscape and Tree Service LLC keeps the lawns beneath those cliffs mown, trimmed and edged, week after week, from the first green flush of May until the last raking in November. There is a particular satisfaction in a yard finished at day's end: stripes laid straight, the border along the stone wall cut clean, the walkway swept bare. Spring and fall cleanups here mean pulling winter's sand and pine litter out of the beds so a house looks awake again. It is straightforward outdoor work, done close to home, for neighbors in Rumney and the towns strung along Route 25.
