Spring reaches Port Dickinson along the water first — a green line up the Chenango bank days before the hills catch on. S n S Landscaping and General Contracting opens the year out there: cleanups, bed edging and mulch, mowing and trimming as growth starts, hedge shaping, and grading and seeding wherever winter took a bite out of a lawn. Half of a good yard is what happens underneath it — drainage that works, soil that settles, an edge that holds through a wet May. Get that right and the mowing is easy for the rest of the year. It is groundwork in the literal sense, and it shows for seasons afterward.
