An Elmwood Village yard is measured in steps rather than acres — a green strip between the porch and the sidewalk, a square out back behind the double. Green Buffalo Lawn Care LLC works at that scale by choice, mowing, trimming and edging lots where the whole job turns on the last six inches. Under the old canopy along Bidwell Parkway the grass comes in thin and particular, and coaxing it even takes patience more than horsepower. Cleanups in spring clear the winter grit; cleanups in fall carry off what the maples let go. It is a small kind of pride, repeated up one side of the street and back down the other.
