Midsummer in Berlin, the Dog River runs low and warm and the afternoon holds its heat right up until the hills take the sun away. S & F Landscaping fills those long days with mowing, trimming and lawn maintenance across town, from Berlin Corners out to the yards along the Barre–Montpelier Road. Grass here grows in hard bursts after every thunderstorm that comes up the valley, so staying ahead of it is half the job. Cleanups handle the rest — April's leftovers from the thaw, then the leaves once the maples let go. A mowed lawn with the borders struck clean is a small thing, and it changes how an entire property reads.
