Fog sits in the Schoharie hollows most mornings until the sun gets over the ridge. Precision Lawn Care LLC starts once it lifts, working the yards along the Four Corners roads and down toward Burtonsville — mowing, edging, trimming and clearing the season's leaves. Hill lawns run to tussock and thin patches if nobody keeps a rhythm, so the schedule matters as much as the machine. The satisfaction is small and exact: a lawn cut to one height, borders held true, the drive swept before the trailer pulls away. By late October the beds are cleared and every last drift of maple leaf is off the grass.
