Hillside lots, RM 620 and lake views
RM 620 runs through the community, and from it, roads climb into neighborhoods with steep driveways and tiered yards. Many houses have long drives, stone steps and retaining walls, all of which gather dirt in their texture. Wind coming off open water can blow dust and pollen against the view side of a house.
Hillsides also decide how water flows. Wash water can run downhill toward neighbors or the shoreline, so crews need to control and contain it. Planning where hoses, equipment and runoff will go is a larger part of a job here than on a flat suburban lot.
