Dryden's Mill Pond sits low and bright in June, and the village lawns around it green up ahead of the fields. American Lawn Sprinkler tends those lawns — mowing on a weekly turn, trimming around posts and stone, edging the walks, carrying off the season's cleanup. Out here a yard is a small clearing in a great deal of farmland, and it earns its keep by looking kept. Summers run hot, and the grass tells on you fast when a week gets skipped. The contrast is the thing: a mown lawn set against hay and corn going gold all the way to the horizon.
