Caroga sits inside the blue line, where the Adirondack forest comes right down to the lakeshores and the green season is short enough to feel precious. J A Ostorga Landscaping Inc does lawn care in that narrow window — mowing, trimming, edging, and the cleanups that open a place in May and shut it again in October. Grass here grows in sandy soil under white pine and birch, in the clearings people cut for themselves around Caroga's lakes. Keeping those clearings sharp is what stops the woods from quietly taking them back. There is nothing quite like arriving at a lake lot that was mowed and trimmed while you were away.
