The old power canal still runs its quiet line through Stayton, and the properties along it need looking after whether anyone is watching that week or not. Hart PM handles the recurring side of that: grounds kept on a schedule, mowing and trimming through the growing months, beds held clear, and cleanups when a place changes hands or a season turns. Winter here is mostly gray water — rain that keeps the grass half-awake and the leaves half-down — and a maintained property is one where that never accumulates. Showing up on the same day every time is unglamorous and it is the entire job. What a place looks like on an ordinary Tuesday is the real measure of it.
