In August the fairground fills and half of Addison County comes to New Haven for a week of oxen, pie and dust. Lush Landscaping & Design tends the lawns around all of it — the yards along the back roads, the dooryards of the old farmhouses, the front strips that face the road and get seen by everyone. Design work here means reading a place first: where the wind arrives off the Adirondacks, where water sits after a storm, which bed will still hold color come September. Then the mowing, the edging, the mulch, the seasonal cleanups that let a planting look intentional instead of accidental. Late summer light on a freshly cut lawn out on the clay plain is worth the whole day's sweat.
