There is a marquee on State Street that has been telling Schenectady to come see something for a very long time, and a well-kept lawn does a quieter version of the same thing. Jester's Lawn Care mows on a weekly rhythm from the first warm week to the last, trims along the walk and the porch skirt, and edges the drive until the line is sharp enough to notice from a moving car. Clippings get swept off the pavement before the trailer gate goes up. Spring begins with the cleanup; October ends with the leaves carried off the grass. It is not complicated work — it is work that shows every single week, which makes it a good thing to be responsible for.
