Late in the afternoon the light comes down Broadway in Peru and lays long shadows across the courthouse square. Fine Lines Lawn & Maintenance LLC earns its name in that light — mowing in straight alternating passes, trimming close along fence lines and foundations, edging walks until the turf stops exactly where it ought to. Grounds maintenance is mostly repetition, and repetition is how a lawn comes by its stripe and its even color. The route runs through town and out along the county roads, and the standard is the same on a small city lot as on an open acre. A yard that reads clean from the street is the point of the entire day.
