US 50 runs straight through Carlyle, and in January the fog comes off the lake and sits on it until nearly noon. Voss Landscaping is out ahead of that, plowing drives and clearing walks so the town can get itself moving; by April the same trucks are pulling mowers instead. Lawn care here runs from the first green flush through the last warm week of October — mowing, trimming, edging, cleanup. Both halves of the year ask for the same two things: a path that is open and an edge that is sharp. The lake sets the terms and the work answers them.
