About Land Maintenance Systems Inc.

Fog comes off Cayuga Lake in the early hours and climbs the hillside into Lansing, where nearly every lawn tilts a little toward the water. Land Maintenance Systems Inc. works those grades — mowing the long slopes above Salmon Creek, trimming around stone walls and mailbox posts, running an edge along drives that fall away toward the shore road. Grass comes up fast in a wet Finger Lakes spring and keeps coming until the gold weeks arrive. Then the work turns to cleanups: leaves gathered off the yard, beds cleared, everything left bare and orderly before the first hard freeze. A tended lawn on this side of the lake catches the afternoon light the way the water does.
