By September the fairgrounds on the river flat fill up and empty out again, and the hills above Tunbridge begin turning at the top first. Vermont Tree Co. LLC works the lawns through all of it, mowing on a regular round, trimming and edging, then clearing a yard down once the hardwoods have finished dropping. Hill-country lawns here are rarely square; they roll, they ledge out, they end in pasture, and cutting them well takes knowing each one. The pleasure is in the pattern left behind, even and clean from the road below. Come spring the round starts over, the first green showing in the roadside ditches long before it reaches the ridges.
