Monhagen Brook threads quietly through Middletown, and the yards it passes keep their green a little longer into a dry August. H & G Landscaping cuts those lawns and the ones up the hill from them, mowing and trimming and running the edger until the walk has a shadow line along it. Beds get mulched in spring, leaves get cleared in fall, and in between the grass gets the steady attention that keeps it thick. Evening is the hour for it — heat off, light low and forgiving, the mower's last pass closing the pattern. Simple work, carried all the way into the corners.
