Wilton's ground is sandy underfoot, pitch pine and scrub oak country running out toward the preserve, and it greens up later and drier than the valley below. Green Heart Gardening and Landscaping works with that instead of against it: mowing set to the season's own pace, trimming along walks and plantings, spring cleanups that clear the pine litter and open the beds to the sun. There is a good hour in May when the barrens are humming with life and a freshly cut lawn is the tidiest thing for miles around. Summer keeps the round steady, and autumn brings everything down at once, the yards stripped clean before the first hard frost. Tended ground looks tended, and here it shows beautifully against all that wild edge.
