On the right kind of morning the low ground in Milton Township holds a shallow river of fog, and the fence posts come out of it one at a time as the sun gets going. Irish Lawn Services is usually out in that hour, waiting for the blades to dry enough to cut clean, then working steadily through the day's yards. Mowing, trimming around the posts and mailbox, a crisp edge where lawn meets pavement — nothing complicated, just done all the way to the corners. A property looks different when the last ten percent of the work actually gets finished. Around here, that is the part people notice from the driveway.
