Out on the township roads the mailboxes come one every quarter mile and the lawns end where the woodlot begins. JBL Lawn Care mows those long approaches and the yards behind them, trimming around fence posts, propane tanks and the odd apple tree left over from an older farm. Long summer daylight stretches the working day well into the evening, which is exactly when fresh mowing stripes show best. The year opens with a rake-out and closes with leaf work. A rural yard is big and plain-spoken; mow it well and the whole place looks tended.
