February around Mount Morris is the stubborn stretch — thaw by day, refreeze by night, and every driveway apron turning into a sheet of gray glass.

By August the trucks are on lawns instead, cutting even, trimming the fence lines and running a straight edge along the concrete. Two different kinds of hard work, both of them outdoors, both of them measured by how a property looks and functions when you leave it. That is the standard the name is aiming at.
