On an August evening the sun drops behind the grain elevators along the Buffalo River and turns every lawn on that side of town the color of a copper penny. Lucky Lawn Care Services is usually finishing up right about then. The work is mowing, trimming around fences and posts, edging along walks and driveways, and cleanups in spring and fall when a yard needs emptying out. Buffalo lots are honest — flat, square, no place to hide a shortcut — and they show good work as plainly as they show careless work. Pulling away from a yard that looks finished is the whole point of the day.
