Late in the afternoon the light comes down Elmer Avenue at a low angle and every mowed lawn on the block shows its stripes. Savercool & Son Contracting and Powerwash keeps a share of those lawns cut week in and week out — mowing on a steady turn, trimming close to steps and hydrants and hedges, edging where turf meets sidewalk. Sayre's older streets have narrow front yards that reward a straight line and punish a sloppy one. The finish is what people notice: no clippings on the concrete, no ragged corner behind the porch. Yards get that attention throughout Sayre, Athens and South Waverly.
