In the hills above Castle Creek the August light runs long and gold across the last few lawns of the day, and the mower throws a sweet green smell up into it. Davis Outdoor Jobs keeps grass cut, trimmed and edged through the growing months for homes around the Town of Chenango. When the valley flips over and the Southern Tier starts stacking storms, the same truck comes back with a blade on the front, opening driveways and lots. Both jobs ask for the same thing: turn up, read the ground, hand it back better than you found it. Lawn care and snow removal, taken in whatever order the weather asks for.
