Lance's Lawn Maintenance

About Lance's Lawn Maintenance

The Polly Ann Trail follows an old rail bed straight through Oxford, and in June that corridor is all mown grass, wild carrot and long evening light. Lance's Lawn Maintenance keeps the same tidy rhythm on the properties nearby: weekly mowing, trimming around posts and beds, edging, and hauling the leaves off once the oaks finally let go. Grass in this township grows in bursts after a thunderstorm, so the schedule bends toward the weather rather than the calendar. Come winter the mower gives way to the plow and the shovel, and drives get opened again and again until April says otherwise. It is steady, visible work — stand at the end of a driveway and you can see exactly what got done.
