This is flat country — old lake plain and farm section, a horizon that runs level for miles and makes any crooked line obvious. Lawn care out here has to answer to that. Mowing in even passes, trimming out the corners a deck cannot reach, edging the drive so the boundary between grass and gravel is a decision instead of an accident. In Leslie Township the yards are generous and the light is unobstructed, which is a gift and a test at once. The reward is a property that looks composed from any angle, week after warm week.
