West of the village, the fields around Hess-Hathaway Park still hold the old farm shape of Waterford — hay, fence line, a barn roof catching the first sun. B.I.C Lawn Service starts its mowing in that hour, while dew still weights the blades and the deck leaves a dark stripe behind it. The work is simple and exacting: an even height across the whole yard, the trimmer run around posts and mailbox, clippings swept off the walk before the truck moves on. By the time the day warms, a lawn reads as one unbroken green with lines you can follow from the street. Come autumn the same route runs for cleanups, so the grass goes into the cold looking cared for.
