On a July morning the water at White Lake goes glass-still, and a screen door shutting carries clean across the bay toward Kauneonga. Creative Earth Landscaping keeps the lawns around those shores cut and trimmed, along with the yards on the roads that wind back up into the Bethel hills. Summer here is short and crowded, so the schedule matters: cut on time, run the trimmer where grass meets dock stair and gravel, clear the drive before leaving. A lawn held even all season is part of what makes a lake place feel like a lake place. Come September, when the traffic thins and the light turns amber over the water, the mowing goes on just the same.
