Cherry Valley sits high, up where the old turnpike crests and the land falls away north toward the Mohawk. Sully's Lawn Care cuts the yards on that height — village lots along the Main Street hill, farm lawns out on the ridge roads, the steep bits nobody enjoys. At this elevation the season starts late and then runs hard: everything greens at once in June and does not quit until frost. A mow here is plain work with a long view thrown in, and it ends the way it should — one even height, a trimmed edge at the stone wall, the clippings gone. When the creek runs loud in the gorge below and the leaves come down, the rakes and blowers close the year out.
