Between Woodville and Locustville Pond the road follows the water, and the houses along it keep modest lawns with a great deal of edge to them — driveway, wall, garden, treeline. Schwegman's Lawn Care handles that detail work through the growing season, mowing on a set day, trimming what a mower cannot reach and clearing the hard surfaces before leaving. Midsummer this part of Hopkinton dries out and the lawn says so plainly, so the cut is raised and the clippings are left to give back what they can. Spring opens with a cleanup and fall closes with one, the leaves taken off while they are still loose and light. The aim of all of it is a yard that never looks like it is catching up to itself.
