Highland Township's hills are leftovers of ice — kames and kettles that give the horse pastures their roll and the yards their stubborn pitch. L & L Landscaping mows that terrain in the deep of July, when the heat sits still through the afternoon and the good work waits for the long light near evening. Trim and edge finish what the mower starts, and beds get mulched so the borders hold their shape into August. Spring and fall cleanups bracket the season on either side, clearing the yard down to bare ground twice a year. A hillside cut along its contour instead of against it looks settled, almost quiet — and quiet is exactly what a lawn on this ground is meant to look like.
