The Owl Kill threads through Cambridge with the valley opening around it, dairy hills on one side and the Taconics standing dark to the east. Countryside Power & Landscape, LLC keeps those yards and drives in order all the way around the calendar — mowing, trimming and cleanups while the grass runs, then plowing, shoveling and ice control once Washington County turns. Storms come over the mountains and settle into the low ground, so the drives along the creek need an early start and often a second visit. The best part of a winter night is arriving at a place at five in the morning and leaving it open. Cambridge, Coila, Greenwich and the White Creek roads all sit on the route.
