Spring reaches Wheatfield late and then all at once, the thaw working up from the canal along the town's southern line and out across the old Bergholz corners. Wheatley Lawn & Landscaping LLC follows it out the door, opening the season with mowing and staying with these yards until the leaves have come down for good. The pleasure is in the details: a straight edge beside the walk, hand-trimmed corners no mower can reach, concrete swept before the truck pulls away. Autumn here has a pace of its own, wet leaves plastered flat after a night of wind off the lake, and the work turns to clearing rather than cutting. Through all of it, a well-mowed yard says the same simple thing about the house standing behind it.
