Down in Cuttingsville the Mill River runs along beside the road and the village sits low while the rest of Shrewsbury climbs away above it. McGown Landscaping mows and trims those valley lawns, mulches the beds, and does the spring and fall cleanups that a river village with this many trees requires. Snowmelt keeps the ground soft here long past the calendar's idea of spring, so the first cut of the year is a matter of timing and patience. Get that right and the grass comes in thick for the rest of the summer. There is a plain pleasure in a mown dooryard with the river sound behind it and the hills standing up on either side.
