The same truck that carries a mower deck in July wears a plow blade in January, and out here that is simply how a year is shaped. Straight Cut Landscaping mows, edges and trims through the growing months, keeping Locust lawns in order from the first spring flush to the last leaf run in November. Then the work flips: drives plowed open to the road, walks shoveled, salt down on the ice that forms where a gutter drips. The name is a fair description of the aim either way — a true line at the sidewalk in June, a straight-sided lane to the mailbox in February. Locust and the small towns around it get both halves of that year.
