Elmer is a small borough with a lake at one end and farm fields at the other, and you can walk the length of it in an afternoon. Bill's Lawn Care keeps the grass on the blocks in between — front lawns along Front Street, the wide side yards, the corner properties people notice without meaning to. Summer mornings here are quiet enough that you can hear a mower two streets over. The work is plain and it shows: cut even, trimmed around posts and hydrants, edged where turf meets concrete, everything swept off after. In a town this size a well-kept lawn is a kind of good manners, and it is worth doing every week.
