The old canal runs through Brutus, and the ground beside it lies flat enough that a mowing line can travel a long way before it has to turn. Empire Mowing takes that advantage — weekly cutting through the season, trimming close around posts, hydrants and fence lines, edging the walks and drives to a clean margin. Spring and fall cleanups clear the ground at either end of the growing year. In July the fields around Weedsport go heavy and green, and the yards need attention every week to keep pace with them. Done right, a lawn holds its stripes for days, and that is the whole reward.
