Pastures need mowing as surely as lawns do, and a place that keeps horses learns grass in a way most people never do. Southmowing Stables carries that into yard and field work around Guilford, cutting lawns even and clean, mowing pasture and meadow before the weeds go to seed, trimming back the edges along fences and gateposts. The low fields here hold their mist until the sun climbs the ridge, and a mowed field steaming at eight in the morning is one of the better sights of a Vermont July. Spring and fall cleanups clear away whatever winter and the maples have left behind. Grass respects a schedule, and it shows when it is given one.
