Sharon is a small town on the shoulder of the Monadnock hills, more woods than village, with the mountain showing itself between the trees at certain bends of Route 123. lawncare keeps the grass in those clearings under control: mowing, pulling the edges back off the driveway, cutting close around ledge and stone wall where a mower simply cannot go. Hilltop yards out here bake dry in August and green up again with the first September rain, so the schedule bends to whatever the ground is actually doing. Cleanups in spring and again in late fall lift pine needles, twigs and leaves off the turf. Quiet roads, few houses, and every one of them left looking crisp.
