About Veterans Lawn Services

By mid-morning, when Jefferson's stores are opening around the courthouse square, Veterans Lawn Services is working its way through the town's residential blocks, one driveway at a time. The routes and the town are both plain and orderly by design — a grid of streets running off the square toward the edge of the cornfields — and this crew works the same sequence of blocks storm after storm so no address gets missed at the end of the list. In the coldest stretch of a Greene County winter, when wind off the open fields pushes drifts up against garage doors overnight, a driveway cleared to the concrete by nine is a small daily relief. The Mahanay Tower's bells mark the quarter hours over the square while the trucks work the surrounding streets, one pass out, one pass back, salt down last. It's plain work, done the same way every time it snows.
