Opdyke sits low and wide in Jefferson County, where the farm sections run out to a treeline and the sky does most of the talking. Summer arrives thick and green here, and a lawn cut even, with the edges laid in sharp along the drive, is a small act of order against all that growing. Winter runs on different arithmetic: a storm crosses the open ground overnight and by morning the plow has the gravel and the concrete opened, salt down where the ice wants to set. Lawn Perfection Inc. holds both ends of the year for homes and businesses around Opdyke and the Mount Vernon country, mowing and trimming through the green months, plowing and clearing walks through the cold ones. The work is measured in what the neighbors see from the road: a clean line, a clear way in.
