Sycamore Creek runs through Mason quiet and brown, and the Hayhoe Riverwalk beside it is one of the first places in town to green up in spring. Superior Lawn Care works that green all season, mowing, trimming, edging the walks, keeping a yard even from one week to the next. Come January the creek goes to ice and the wind comes flat across town, and the trucks go out to plow, shovel and salt. There is a particular quiet after a driveway is finished and the engine shuts off at five in the morning. That moment is what the work is for.
