Clayville is a mill village folded into the Sauquoit Creek valley, the water still running fast past old stone foundations while the hillsides climb steeply on both sides. Barrett's Lawn Care mows those valley yards — narrow lots, sloped side lawns, trim work around walls and porch steps laid long before anyone here owned a mower. Summer down in the valley is green and close, the creek sound constant, the light arriving late over the eastern ridge and slipping away early behind the western one. The work is mowing, trimming, edging and cleanups, kept on whatever schedule the grass decides. A tidy lawn on a hillside street reads clean all the way down the block.
