A lot of Ray Township properties are more fence line than front yard — a couple hundred feet of driveway, a paddock rail, a row of posts running back toward a pole barn. Slim's Landscaping does the part that decides how the whole place reads: mowing the open ground clean, then walking the trimmer along every rail, post and pipe until the line is unbroken. Edges along the drive get cut so the asphalt or the gravel keeps its full width instead of quietly shrinking each year. Evening is a good time to look at that work, when low sun rakes across the grass and shows every line for what it is. Grass off the concrete, gate latched, on to the next one.
