On a Saturday morning in Shortsville you can hear exactly where the work is — a mower two streets over, then a trimmer running down someone's fence line. Kevin's Property Care spends its weeks on lots like those, village yards with old shade trees and gardens crowded up close to the porch. Mowing, trimming, edging, seasonal cleanups: nothing showy, just a yard that looks cared for when the family pulls into the drive. A few blocks off, the water at the outlet dam keeps up its steady noise while the day goes by. Manchester, Shortsville, Clifton Springs and the roads out toward Phelps.
