Late August along Route 10, the hayfields go tawny and the lawns need cutting more often than anyone expects. Local Legends Landscaping LLC keeps Swanzey properties on rotation right through it — mowing, trimming, edging, hedges shaped, beds mulched and kept clear of weeds. September is for seed, when cool nights and warm ground finally give young grass a fair chance. Then come the leaves, which in this town arrive in three separate waves and demand an answer every time. By the last visit the yard is buttoned up, the borders straight, the walk clear right to the door.
