Below Ross Park the streets stack up the hillside in terraces, and every yard there sits like a small balcony over Binghamton. B&M Landscaping & Gardning tends them early, while the dew is still heavy and the grade is cool to work on — mowing, string trimming, weeding and planting beds, mulch, hedge work, and the cleanups that bookend the season. Gardens on a slope ask for a particular attention: edges that hold, beds that drain, turf that stays even where the ground would rather slide. Done right, the hill looks intentional again. There is real satisfaction in a piece of the Parlor City that reads as cared for from the sidewalk on up.
