Sauquoit Creek runs the length of this valley, and the lawns along it climb the sidehills in steps. Davids Lawn Care works those slopes through the growing months, mowing across the grade and trimming out the odd corners no machine reaches on its own. June brings the fastest growth of the year, when a skipped week shows immediately and a fresh cut makes a whole property look like it exhaled. The finish is the part that counts — a crisp edge along the walk, the driveway cleared of clippings, nothing tracked out into the road. Come autumn the leaves let go off the hills all at once, and the cleanups begin.
