Drive any section road out of Sterling and the country runs to wheat, corn and pasture clear to the horizon — which makes a kept lawn a deliberate little green square in a very wide, very dry place. Logan County K Lawn tends those squares: cut on a rhythm, trimmed tight to the foundation, edged where turf meets concrete. Mornings start with dew still on the blades and a meadowlark somewhere out on a fence wire. Clippings come up rather than getting left in windrows, because the finish is the entire point. It's ordinary work done carefully, and it makes a whole street look looked-after.
