Poultney was built on slate, and you can still read it in the purple and gray ledges along the back roads and in the roofs that have outlasted everything under them. Forever Green Landscaping works the ground above all that stone, mowing, trimming and shaping lawns from the first green flush after mud season to the last cut before frost. The Poultney River runs west toward the New York line, and the valley it cut gives the town its long, easy lawns. When winter arrives the work turns to plowing, opening driveways and lots so the day can start on time. A quarry town knows the difference between work that shows and work that holds; a yard cut clean happens to be both.
