Down along Falls Road the LaPlatte River goes slow and green through the marsh, and a heron will stand in it half the afternoon without moving. Earthscapes Inc keeps Shelburne lawns on a steady week: mowing, string trimming, edging where grass meets pavement, and the cleanups that bookend the growing season. Summer here can turn thundery by four o'clock, so the day begins early and the last pass is finished before the sky changes its mind. The reward is the after — a lawn striped even, borders sharp, nothing left scattered on the drive. Autumn brings the long work of leaves, and the yard is taken down to tidy ground before the cold settles in for good.
