Wales is mostly trees and water — hemlock shade, brook noise, and the long light off Lake George on a still July evening. Laurelwood Landscapes keeps the open ground in between: mowing, edges kept tight, mulch in the beds, and the hauling out of leaves once the maples let go in October. Grass here grows in patches of sun stolen from the woods, so keeping it even takes returning, week after week. Come January those same drives fill in fast, and opening them before the day starts is its own kind of care for a place. Lawn work in the green months, plowing and sanding in the white ones.
