Dansville lies in the crease of the valley where Canaseraga Creek runs, hills lifting steeply on either side of a long main street. GOODWIN LAWN SERVICES keeps the lawns along that flat ground and up the first pitches of the hill, mowing and trimming through the warm months and returning with a plow and a salt spreader once the year turns. September mornings can be pure Dansville — balloons drifting above the valley while the mowers run below — and the grass stays green here well past when it should. Winter changes the tools but not the standard: drives opened wide, walks cleared to the pavement, salt where the ice likes to set. Same properties, same crew, two very different sounds at the door.
