A house on the plains shows its whole face to the street — no woods to hide behind, just a lawn, a walk, and the sky doing something enormous behind the roofline. Maison Lawn Service tends that face for Erie homes: mowing, trimming and edging in the green season, plowing and shoveling once the cold sets its jaw. In winter the front walk gets opened and treated right down to the mat, so the porch light falls on a path instead of a drift. Cleanups carry off the leaves and the winter grit before either turns into a chore. What is left is the simple dignity of a place that is kept.
