Late August along Route 523: corn over your head, hay drying in the next field, and evening arriving with that sweet dusty smell. Larry's Lawn Care mows and trims through it week after week, keeping a hard line where lawn meets gravel and driveway. Out here the properties sprawl, so the work is as much about the transitions — turf to field, turf to woods, turf to stone — as it is about the middle. Cleanups come twice a year, one to clear winter off and one to take autumn away. What is left is a yard that looks tended without looking fussed over.
