Brookfield keeps time by the trains — the BNSF line splitting the village, the old Grossdale depot standing where it has always stood, commuters gathering on the platform in whatever the sky is doing. JG Landscaping Services & Snow Removal Inc works to that same clock, mowing and trimming through the long green stretch of the year and plowing and salting when the walks need to be passable at five in the morning. Summer here is a canopy town: shade over the parkways, grass that jumps after a Thursday storm. Winter is the opposite errand on the same streets, opening them back up. Both come down to a property that looks kept and a clear way in and out of it.
