In May the oaks along Dryden's back roads leaf out last, weeks behind the maples, and the lawns beneath them finally wake up. Family Tree Landscape and Design works those properties — mowing, trimming, edging beds and borders, cleanups in spring and again when the leaves come down. Country yards run big and irregular, wrapping barns and fence rows and old shade trees, so they take a route rather than a single pass. Kept up, they look like part of the countryside instead of an argument with it. There is a good feeling in stepping back at the end and seeing exactly where the mown line meets the wild one.
