Maplewood Landscaping & Nursery works the ground where Cranston tips from mill-brick to open field — the Pawtuxet running east toward the bay, the stone walls out west holding their line under oak shade. Their work begins in design, sometimes drawn in three dimensions before a shovel touches soil, and ends in the thing you can walk out into: a hardscape laid true, planting set with a careful hand, a lawn restored until it lies even as poured milk. Spring and fall bring the cleanups, the raking-out and hauling-off that lets a yard breathe again, and their landscape materials move by pickup or delivery any day of the week. Come January, the snow removal crews are out ahead of the light, opening a driveway while the street is still blue and unbroken. Residential or commercial, the reward is the same and plainly visible: a place along the Pawtuxet Valley that holds its shape, season after season, because somebody cared how the edge was cut.
