Water gathers everywhere around Plano — the Fox River east of town, Big Rock Creek threading through it, and the still ponds tucked into the newer subdivisions where the geese drop in at dusk. Lakeside Landscapes and Lawn Care mows and trims the lawns that slope toward all that water, where the ground stays soft and the grass grows thick and late into fall. When the ponds skim over and the first real storm lands, the same crew turns to plowing drives and clearing walkways before the sun is up. A cleared driveway on a black February morning is a small, solid gift. So is a lawn cut clean in September, with the light coming low across the water.
