Grass in Massachusetts was not growing during the intense summer drought, so lawn mowing businesses had fewer lawns to mow. A North Attleboro landscaper had about a third of customers cancel their mowing. A Milford landscaper downsize his workforce from 14 to about a half dozen. Another North Attleboro business reported that lawn mowing was down 35% to 40%.
