Washington Park in the last week of April is a hundred thousand tulips deep, and the whole city takes that as permission to care about its own front yard again. This is landscaping and snow removal for Albany properties meant to look tended in every month of the calendar. Spring is the reset: winter sand raked off the grass, beds cut back, the first mow that makes a place look intentional again. Then mowing, trimming and mulch through the long green months, leaves cleared in November, and plowing and salting once driveways start disappearing overnight. From the Lake House out to the streets that ring the park, the aim never changes — a property that reads as cared for from the sidewalk.
