In July the Walloomsac runs shallow and loud beneath the Paper Mill covered bridge, and the lawns on the flats above it grow about as fast as anything in Vermont. Precision Landscape LLC. works that stretch of Bennington with mowing, edging and trimming — the sort of upkeep where the whole difference shows in the last ten feet of the job. Straight lines across an open lawn, a firm cut edge along the walk, beds trimmed back so the shape of the yard reads clearly from the street. Ground here is river-bottom flat in places and pitched hard against Mount Anthony in others, and each demands its own pace. What lasts is the look of it afterward: crisp, even, unmistakably tended.
