Marcellus Township is farm sections stitched together with small lakes, and on a July evening the water goes flat and the swallows come out over the hayfield. Freedom Property Maintenance, Inc. keeps the grass in that landscape — mowing, trimming, edging and clearing up in spring and fall — on township lots, lake places and long country driveways. The soil here holds a rain, so the mowing season runs hard from May straight through September. Work starts while the dew is still down and ends with the smell of cut grass hanging in the warm air. A lawn that finishes in a clean line at the field's edge is worth the whole day.
