Central Square sits at the crossroads of Hastings, where the through traffic passes a town that mostly keeps its own hours. Hastings Lawn Care LLC mows, trims and edges the yards along those side roads — weekly cuts, bed upkeep, and the raking that follows a north-country thaw. The growing season is compressed up here; grass takes off in May and does not ease until the nights turn cold. That makes the schedule the heart of it: showing up on the day, and leaving a yard that looks finished from the road. On a June evening with the mower cooling and cut grass still on the air, that is a good enough result to build a week around.
