August in Cheektowaga is heavy air and heavier soil — the ground here is lake clay, and it holds water long after a storm has moved east toward Lancaster. Denali Outdoor Services works the early hours for that reason, mowing while the dew is still on and the turf is standing up. Trimming and edging follow the mower, tidying fence lines, tree rings and the concrete seam along the drive. Cleanups in spring and fall handle what the extremes leave behind. By mid-morning the crew is gone and the yard simply looks right, which is exactly the intent.
