August on the west shore of Conesus Lake runs long and warm, and the lawns sloping toward the water get walked on, played on, and cut short. Boone's Lawn Care keeps them mowed and trimmed, edges the paths and drives, and clears the yards out ahead of summer and after the leaves fall. Lakeside grass has its own demands: sandy patches, deep shade under old maples, a strip along the road that always grows fastest. What you want at the end of it is a cottage lawn that looks right from the dock. Around Geneseo the warm season is brief enough to be worth doing carefully.
