Out on the mile grid the roads run straight to the horizon and the wind crosses open ground with nothing to slow it but a hedgerow. Evergreen Lawn Care and Landscaping mows the yards set back off those section-line roads — farmhouse lawns, the ranch houses at the crossroads, the church grounds with their long front stretch. Every pass gets its edges trimmed and its clippings swept off the concrete, so the green stops exactly where it should. Spring cleanups pull the winter's litter of twigs and matted thatch out of the corners; autumn visits stay ahead of the leaves. It is plain work, and on a June evening with the light going long and gold across a fresh-cut yard, it looks like something more.
