Last light on the Middle Branch Reservoir turns the water the color of a nickel, and the final lawn of the day in Carmel Hamlet gets finished by it. six brothers landscaping runs a long day in both directions — mowing, trimming, edging and cleanups through the green months, plowing and clearing driveways through the white ones. More hands on a property means a yard goes from overgrown to finished while the coffee is still warm. In winter that same speed matters differently, when a storm has to be pushed back before anyone needs to leave. The measure holds either way: a place that looks handled.
