Late in the day along Nippersink Road the shadows stretch across the bungalow blocks and the grass goes a deeper green. Nergel Lawn Service Inc runs its rounds through Round Lake Park in that light — mowing to an even height, trimming out fences and foundations, edging the sidewalk line, tidying beds, and clearing spring debris and fall leaves off the turf. A train whistle carries over the village most afternoons; the mowers keep their own schedule regardless. Older lots have their quirks, root flares and low corners, and knowing them is half the job. The other half is leaving every yard looking deliberate.
