Ashaway grew up along its river, and the village lawns still step down toward the water in terraces that ask for a careful hand on a slope. ABC Lawn Care mows and trims through Hopkinton's warm months, keeping grass at a height that shades its own roots and holding a straight line along drives and walks. Summer here is humid, with river fog sitting in the low ground most mornings, so cutting waits for the dew to lift and the clippings are spread rather than dumped. In spring the beds are cut back and the winter debris pulled out; in fall the leaves come off before they smother the turf. Ordinary work, done on time — and the village looks better for every yard of it.
