The valley floor around Dansville is flat and open where Canaseraga Creek runs, with the hills standing straight up on either side and weather funneling right down the middle. GOODWIN LAWN SERVICE works the whole calendar there — mowing, trimming and edging through the growing months, cleanups at either end, and leaves taken off the lawns in October. When winter closes in, the trucks plow driveways and lots, shovel walks and steps, and put sand or salt on the slick spots. Wind off those hillsides can refill an opening about as fast as you cut it, so patience is part of the job. Cut and cleared, season after season, for North Dansville and the valley around it.
