South of the junction, Route 5 runs the river meadows, where the soil is deep and the horizon lies down flat for a while. L L Potwin Services works those places all the way around the calendar: mowing and trimming through the growing months, cleanups when the cottonwoods let go, plowing and shoveling once the meadow wind turns mean. River-bottom grass comes on strong in June and needs a genuine schedule to stay tidy. In winter the same yards want opening before daylight, and the same eye for where the edges are. The work changes; the standard does not.
