A vacant lot around Carlton needs about two summers to disappear entirely — briar, sapling, waist-high weed and whatever the birds happened to plant. McFarLAND Services, Land Services LLC brings that ground back: brush cleared, overgrowth cut down, ditch banks and property lines opened up until the boundaries mean something again. Once the rough work is behind it, the same ground goes onto a mowing schedule, which is how it stays done. There is a moment at the end of a clearing job when the shape of a place shows itself for the first time in years. That moment is most of the reason to do the work.
