Dig anywhere in Ringwood and you meet the Ramapos — ledge, glacial cobble, and the iron-dark stone the old furnaces once fed on. Harts Landscape Design & Excavation takes the ground as it comes, shaping and grading it and then keeping the lawn above it mowed, trimmed and cleared through the growing season. Autumn is the turn: leaves off, beds cut back, the yard squared away while the hills go copper. After that the plow goes on, and winter is spent opening driveways and walks and salting the icy pitches before anyone has to cross them. Ground that is stubborn to work is also ground worth doing right.
