About Ray and Son Lawn and Snow Service

Sunrise comes up over the low ridges toward Brooklyn and lands on wet grass, and for about an hour the whole south end of Oregon looks like it is made of glass. Ray and Son Lawn and Snow Service starts its days in that window — mowing, trimming, edging, clippings cleared off — and finishes ahead of the afternoon heat. In winter the clock flips: work at dusk and after dark, plowing driveways, opening walks, squaring the ends so the banks do not creep back into the drive. Two seasons, one property, the same eye for how a place ought to look when you are done with it. Around here the ground gives you roughly seven months of grass and five of snow, and neither one waits on you.
