There are kettle ponds and low wet corners scattered all over Handy township, and on an August morning the mist sits over them until the sun climbs high enough to burn it off. Stillwater Outdoor Services is usually out before that happens, cutting and trimming while the day is still cool. Yards backing onto water are their own puzzle — softer ground underfoot, taller growth at the margin, an edge that has to look intentional where the lawn gives way to cattails. Add spring and fall cleanups and the work covers the full arc of a growing year. Quiet ground, kept in order.
