Route 7 and the old rail grade share the valley floor in Worcester, running side by side with the creek between them. TJ's Property Maintenance keeps the properties along that stretch, mowing through the season, trimming the fence lines, and edging where lawn meets gravel. September turns the work toward leaves, and the maples above the grade supply plenty of them. Cleanups in spring and fall bring a yard back to something open and orderly. It is steady upkeep in a valley that has always been a route to somewhere else.
