Along the South Branch the old sycamores lean out over the water and throw shade across half the yards near the bank. Moss Landscaping Inc. mows in that dappled light all through spring, when the grass comes on faster than anyone expects and the low ground stays soft into May. Trimming around trunks and fence posts, edging the beds and the drive — on a shaded lawn the small cuts are what make it read as tended rather than tired. In winter the work turns to snow: drives plowed, walks cleared, the route finished by the time the school buses try it. A township this green in June has earned its quiet in January.
