Freight still moves through the north end of St. Albans, a long low sound carried over rooftops on an August afternoon. Four Leaf Landscaping LLC works within earshot of it, mowing and trimming and edging lawns from the neighborhoods off Lower Newton Street out toward the open Franklin County fields. Late summer asks for steadiness above all, heat and fast growth and grass that needs cutting whether or not it rained. Come autumn the same yards get raked and cleared down to a clean slate for winter. The reward is the ordinary one, a yard that looks looked-after week after week after week.
