There is a Tuesday morning in late August when Hertel Avenue smells entirely of cut grass, and that is Andre's Lawn Services Etc. at work. North Buffalo lawns are deep and shaded, the kind that grow unevenly and need a mower paying attention. Cut, trim around the fences and stone, edge the drive, then a blower over the walk — the order never changes because it works. Leaf season arrives in a hurry here, and the cleanups chase it right down the block until the yards are bare and ready for the freeze. What people notice is the after: a lawn that looks intentional.
