A July Saturday in Sanford smells like cut grass and hot sand. Todd's Lawn Maintenance is part of that sound and smell — mowing, string trimming, edging along the drive, mulch in the beds, and the heavy cleanups at both ends of the year. Come December the schedule turns over to plowing, shoveling and ice control for houses tucked back off the county roads, where drifts build fast across open field. The satisfaction is identical in either season: you pull away, and the place looks like somebody paid attention. That is what a village hires a neighbor for.
