Down along Dead Creek the land runs flat to the water, and every autumn the snow geese come down onto those fields by the thousand, loud as a crowd. R&B Fencing & LawnCare keeps the lawns of Addison in shape under that wide sky — mowing through the long Champlain Valley summer, trimming close to posts and stone, edging the drives back to a firm line. Farm-country yards run large, so the work is measured in acres as much as in hours. Cleanups in the thaw clear the winter's litter, and cleanups in October take the leaves and the last cut down to size before the cold sets in. A well-kept lawn out here does not fight the countryside around it; it just gives the house a clean place to stand.
