The name on the truck is also the name on the town line sign, which is a fine thing out where the back roads run north from Wheeler toward Prattsburgh. In April the valleys hold their fog until nine o'clock, and then the hillside grass comes in thick and green almost overnight. Wheeler's Lawn & Landscape takes those yards on as they wake up — mowing, edging, trimming, and clearing off whatever winter scattered across the ground. There is a craft to keeping a hill lawn even: reading the pitch, working around the wet spots, cutting so the whole slope lies smooth as a bedsheet. Done that way it looks effortless from the road, which is rather the point.
