By mid-morning in June the dew has lifted off the old blocks north of downtown Danville, and the maples along those side streets throw shade in long overlapping shapes. That is the hour Sandiford Lawn Care likes to start cutting — grass dry enough to stand up to the blade, air still cool under the trees. Mowing, string trimming, and a crisp edge along every walk and drive: the lines are what a neighbor notices from the sidewalk, even if nobody ever mentions them out loud. There is a real satisfaction in the final pass, when the stripes run true beside a brick street and the clippings have been blown back onto the turf instead of into the gutter. The yards here are worth that kind of attention, and the work is simply a matter of giving it to them.
