On a Saturday in Saline the market fills the lot downtown by eight and empties again by one, and the rest of the day the whole town is outdoors. Sam outdoor service works those daylight hours — mowing, string-trimming the fence lines, edging where the grass keeps trying to creep out over the concrete. It is straightforward work with a visible result, which is much of the appeal: you drive off, and anyone can see exactly what changed. The season here runs long and green, from the first mow of spring to the last cool cut in the fall. Lawn care across Saline and the towns just past its edges.
