Out toward Crystal Run the ground opens up, and on cold mornings the frost sits white across the fields until the sun works its way over them. Crystal Clean Landscaping & Lawncare keeps properties in and around Middletown through that whole swing of weather — plowing and shoveling when storms come through, salting the slick corners, then mowing, edging and trimming once the ground softens. Mulch goes down in spring, leaves come up in fall, and the lawn in between gets cut on a rhythm you could set a calendar by. There is a particular pride in a walkway scraped clean to the concrete, and the very same pride in a stripe cut arrow-straight. The weather changes; the finish does not.
