About grass cutter

The yards in Minersville are small and hard-won — a strip along the alley, a square behind a row home, a bank of grass holding up a retaining wall. Those are the ones grass cutter takes care of: mowing, trimming close along walls and fence lines where no deck will reach, edging the sidewalk, and sweeping the clippings off the pavement before leaving. On a hillside lot the trimming is most of the work, and doing it patiently is what makes the whole yard look sharp from the street. The West Branch runs below the town and the summers here are green and quick, so a missed week shows immediately. Small yards, cut on time, keep a whole block looking like somebody is home.
