Early on a Benton morning the dew sits heavy and you wait an hour for it to lift before the first cut. Thurston Lawn Care works that stretch of Yates County with mowing, trimming, edging, mulch in the beds, and the seasonal cleanups that bookend the year. Grass comes back strong here after a wet spring, then wants watching through August when the ridge-top lots dry out fast. Straight stripes across a big flat yard are worth the small trouble of lining them up. Come evening the road toward Penn Yan goes quiet, the equipment is loaded, and the day's work is visible from every driveway behind you.
