The trails at Whiting Road Nature Preserve come alive in a rush — bloodroot, then ferns unrolling, then the whole understory green in about ten days. Mint Services LLC starts its year in that same hurry: cleanups first, beds re-cut, mulch down, and the first mows once the ground firms underfoot. Summer settles into a steady week of mowing, trimming and edging. Come winter the same addresses get plowed, their walks opened and salt laid where ice wants to set up. Very different work, one careful list of Webster driveways.
