The Tonawanda Creek loops slow and brown through Batavia, high and pushy in spring, half-hidden under the willows by August. Mother Nature's Enterprises LLC keeps the lawns along its bends and the yards up on the higher streets cut, trimmed and cleaned up through the whole growing stretch. Then October turns, the creek runs black under the bare branches, and the same properties get plowed and shoveled clear once the weather has its say. Working with the season instead of against it means knowing when grass wants cutting and when a driveway needs to be opened twice before sunrise. Either way, the result at the end of the visit is a property that looks handled.
