Out along Napier Road the subdivisions give way to open ground, and on a summer morning the mist lies flat over the fields until the sun burns through it. S M Lawn Services starts early out that way — mowing, trimming and edging, fertilizing, weed control, spring and fall cleanups — and keeps going until the route is finished. When winter arrives the same trucks run plow work: driveways cleared, walks shoveled, salt laid at the base of every step. Two seasons, one route, and the quiet ambition of never being the reason anyone is late. It is straightforward work done at the hours the work actually needs.
