Johnson's Pond lies wide and bright through August, and the yards ringing it grow fast on lake humidity — mow one Friday and by the next it has a week of catching up to do. A.T.'s Lawn Care keeps that pace all summer around Coventry, cutting, trimming and edging, then stripping the yards down to bare turf at each end of the season. Come February those same shoreline roads go slick and narrow, and the work turns to plowing drives and opening walkways before anyone needs to be out the door. Snow that blows across open water piles into drifts against a garage door, a problem all its own. Both trades share one habit: get there early, leave it clean, be gone before the day gets going.
