The land north of Syracuse runs flat and open toward Oneida Lake, which makes summer generous here and winter long and loud. Custom Lawn Scapes Inc follows both ends of that year — mowing, trimming and edging through the green months, cleanups at either shoulder of the season, then plowing, shoveling and salting once the lake-effect starts stacking up. In August the payoff is a lawn striped straight to the property line with the bed edges cut in sharp. In February it is a driveway off Bear Road opened wide enough that nobody has to think twice before backing out. Same eye for a straight line, different tool in hand. Working the same streets all year means watching a yard change hands from one season to the next, and that is half the pleasure of it.
