April in Lockport is all water — snowbanks going down, meltwater finding the low corners, the ground soft and dark and ready. R E Peters Landscaping & Drainage reads a property the way that runoff does, then keeps it right through the year: mowing, trimming, edging and cleanups while things are growing, plowing, shoveling and salting when they are not. The first cut of the season lands sweetly, the lawn finally firm underfoot and the stripes running straight. Winter asks for the opposite virtue — patience at four in the morning, a blade down, a drive opened wide. One property, two rhythms, watched over in both.
