Out at Burlington Flats the road widens, the creek runs close and the yards open up under a big stretch of central New York sky. Happy Services Of Burlington keeps them mown on a steady rhythm through the growing months, with trimming around porch posts and mailboxes and a clean edge where lawn meets drive. There's honest pleasure in a midsummer afternoon that ends with fresh stripes on the grass and the smell of it still hanging in the air. Seasonal cleanups open the yard in spring and put it to bed once the hills go bare. It's a hamlet where things get noticed, and a well-kept lawn is noticed first.
