The Butternut Creek valley narrows and opens as it runs south, and the lawns of Butternuts sit in its folds — some flat beside the water, some tipped hard toward the hill. Guller's Lawn Care mows them all, trims the corners a mower leaves behind, and edges the drives and walks so the shape of a property shows. Cleanups come in spring, when the creek runs high and the ground is still shedding winter, and again in fall, when the hillsides let go of their leaves all at once. Between those, it is the weekly cut through the long green middle of the year. Around Gilbertsville the yards run right up to the road, and it shows when they are kept.
