Gardner mornings in summer start cool off Crystal Lake and warm in a hurry once the sun clears the hills. Flores landscaping Corp. works the city's short blocks and long back yards inside that window — mowing, trimming tight along fences and foundations, edging the walks, keeping beds mulched and clippings gone. Gardner sits high, and a kept yard up here reads from the street the way a swept front porch does. There is real pride in the last pass of the day: the cut even, the borders tight, the sidewalk blown clean. Lawn care for Gardner and the towns just beyond it.
