Out where Ottawa's streets give way to section-line roads and cut cornfields, late-November light thins by four in the afternoon and the first plowable snow is never far behind it. Kuehn Lawn Services works that whole arc: weekly mowing, trimming and edging through the warm months, then snow plowing, drive and walk clearing, and salt once the freeze sets in. Country drives are long and the wind keeps refilling them; town lots are tight and want a careful blade. Both get handled, in order, before people need to leave for the day. Come May the mowers are back out and those same properties come up clean and level again.
