Up on the Wierimus ridge the land tips and rolls, and the orchard rows at Demarest Farms show you what a considered line looks like from a distance. Conti Landscape Design carries that instinct into Hillsdale yards — beds shaped to the grade, mulch laid even, turf mowed and trimmed so the whole plan holds together in October light. Design is only half of it; the other half is showing up week after week to keep the shape. When the valley goes gray and the first storm stacks up over the ridge, the same properties get plowed, shoveled and salted before the household stirs. Snow makes every edge visible, which is a good reason to keep them true all year.
