Fenwick is a crossroads with a creek near it and a lot of open country around, the kind of place where you can hear a mower from a half mile off. Spanky's lawn Care runs those yards all season — farmhouse lawns, corner lots, the wide mowing that comes with living where land is not scarce. Trimming and edging clean up what the deck leaves behind, around posts, culverts, foundations and yard trees, and the walks are blown down before they go. Spring starts with hauling out matted grass and fallen limbs; autumn ends with leaves cleared before the snow can set them in place. A straight line of cut grass across a big yard reads like a signature.
