There's a kind of yard that doesn't shout — mowed even, edges straight, beds clean, nothing fussy — and in a plains town like Johnstown that plainness looks exactly right. K and O Simple Scapes aims at it: weekly mowing, trimming around posts and pavers, crisp edging along the walks, cleanups that carry off whatever the wind delivered. May here is a green rush; the grass gains an inch overnight and the whole town smells like cut lawn by Saturday afternoon. Keeping up with that surge, then holding the line through the dry weeks after it, is the entire job. Johnstown, Milliken, Mead and the nearby towns.
