Out toward East Williamson the roads run straight between farm fields, and the yards along them are wide, exposed, and honest about how they are kept. Laplant's Lawn-Property Maintenance keeps them cut, trimmed and edged all summer, then turns to plowing drives, clearing paths and spreading salt once the ground goes hard. Dawn is the hour that matters in either season — a mower on the dew, or headlights against blowing snow. Cleanups in spring and fall take care of whatever the wind has left behind. It is plain outdoor work on Williamson properties, done on a regular round.
