Summer evenings in Amboy Township run late and level — shadows stretching east across the beans, a mower still going somewhere down the road. Backyard Boyz Landscaping fills those hours with mowing, trimming, edging and cleanup work on properties around Metamora and the countryside beyond it. Out where the yards are big and the sky is bigger, an even cut and a clean perimeter make a house look like it belongs to someone who's home. Grass comes on fast off northwest Ohio's dark soil, so the route keeps its cadence week to week. Nothing fancy in it — just a yard done right, every time.
