Nothing in these mountains is square, which is exactly why a straight edge reads so well against them. Precision landscaping cuts and trims yards around Vilas where the ground rolls off toward the creek and the light goes gold along the ridge by six in the evening. The work is unglamorous and specific: an even mowing height, tight trimming at posts and steps, a defined border, drives left swept. Stand out at the road afterward and the place looks cared for from a hundred yards away. That is what a week's work is for, and then the next week's.
