West of Albion the houses thin out, the farm fields take over, and an August sun sits on all of it without apology. Kleen Greens mows straight through that heat — steady weekly cuts, trimmed edges, clippings blown off the drive instead of left to bake on the concrete. A lawn that has been kept all summer shows it come September: even color, sharp borders, nothing shaggy at the fence posts. The season runs from the first green flush of spring to the leaf haul in late fall, when the maples let go nearly all at once. It is the same work, week after week, on the same side of town.
