A Cut Above Landscape

About A Cut Above Landscape

Stand on the high ground in Thompson Park and Watertown unrolls below you — rooftops, the green seam of the river valley, the far ridges going blue. A Cut Above Landscape works both halves of that view: summer lawns kept even and trimmed, and winter driveways opened while the streetlights are still the brightest thing on the block. Mowing here means reading the ground, since the grade behind these houses rarely agrees to be flat. Come December the same properties get plowed, walks shoveled to the door, salt laid where the shade holds ice past noon. It is the satisfaction of knowing a place in two weathers and getting both of them right.
