The Zim Smith Trail follows the old rail line through Ballston, and walking it gives you the whole town in cross-section — backyards, hayfield edges, hedgerows, the lake trough sitting off to the east. JH Property Services covers that same ground all twelve months. From April on: mowing, trimming, edging, mulching, spring and fall cleanups. From the first storm on: plowing driveways and lots, clearing walks and steps, salting and sanding through the freeze. Saratoga County winters come up the Hudson corridor with real intent, and the yards that get looked after in July are the same ones getting opened at five in the morning in January.
