About Jake n rake lawncare

The Helderberg wall stands over Altamont like a held breath, and the wind that slides down off it in August carries stone and cut grass in the same lungful. Jake n rake lawncare works the village yards below — mowing the flat lots near the old train station, trimming around the maples, raking and hauling whatever comes down when the escarpment starts throwing color in October. Every lawn here falls into that cliff's shadow at some hour, which means shade patches and thin spots and grass that needs reading before it needs cutting. Edges get cut clean along the sidewalks, because in a village this size the sidewalk is where people see your yard from. Come fair week the whole place fills up, and a tidy lawn is its own small kind of welcome.
