Late August in Watervliet smells like blueberries and warm sand, and the light off Paw Paw Lake stays gold until almost nine. Sipla Landscape Company works those long evenings — mowing, trimming, tidying the borders of yards that run back toward the vineyard rows. When the season turns and the first heavy lake-effect night arrives, the trucks go back out with plows, opening drives and walkways while the town is still dark. The pride is in the finish: nothing left ragged, and a path a person can walk in slippers to fetch the paper. Lawn care through the growing season and snow removal after it, around Watervliet and the lake roads nearby.
