Fairview sits up the slope where mornings hold their dew the longest, and in May the grass there gains an inch before you have finished your coffee. Erik's Lawn Service keeps pace with it — the weekly cut, the trimmed border, the clippings off the drive, the shrubs kept honest. Spring cleanups open the year and the mowing carries it through the long green middle of it. What neighbors notice is the seam along the walk, that crisp division that says somebody was here and meant it. Poughkeepsie lawns, all season long.
