The route is the job: a list of Elmira addresses that runs from the levee walk along the river up into the hillside streets, hit in order, week after week. T&C Lawn Care works it in both directions of the year — mowing, trimming and cleanups through the green months, plowing, shoveling and salting once the Chemung Valley locks up. There is a knack to a route: knowing which yard drains slow after a Southern Tier downpour, which drive catches the drift off the open field. Regularity is the whole product here. Nobody has to call; the truck simply comes, and the place looks right again.
