Done Right Lawns & Gardens

About Done Right Lawns & Gardens

The deck drops, the engine finds its pitch, and a straight line opens across the grass — then the trimmer's whine along a fence post, then hands setting stone until a walkway sits flat and true. Done Right Lawns & Gardens works the Walloomsac valley out of Bennington, where the Taconics lean in from the west and the Green Mountains hold the morning light a while longer, mowing and trimming, brush hogging, edging and mulching, cutting garden beds, laying patios and retaining walls, pruning trees and trimming shrubs, dethatching and overseeding in spring and hauling the leaves off in the amber part of fall. Come winter the work turns to headlights and cold steel: plowing, snow blowing, salting and sanding, walkways cleared down to the bare surface before anyone has laced a boot. The reward is plain and physical — a crisp edge holding its shape against a bed of fresh mulch, a stone wall that will still be square when the frost heaves have had their say, a brick-street driveway open and dark while the ridgelines are still white. That care runs south and out from Bennington to North Bennington, Shaftsbury, Pownal, Woodford and Arlington, and over the lines to Williamstown, MA and Hoosick Falls, NY.
