In Aviston the church steeple is the tallest thing for miles, and from any lawn in the village you can see weather crossing the wheat ground long before it gets to you. Grassmasters LLC handles the mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups in that flat, tidy country between the US 50 corridor and the breeze that comes off Carlyle Lake. Clinton County summers run hot and bright; grass here rewards a regular cut and punishes a skipped week without mercy. The measure of a day is simple — even stripes, the mower's last pass squared against the drive, nothing left lying on the walk.
