Above Valley Cottage the Lake DeForest reservoir lies dark and still, and in March its edges give up their ice while shaded driveways nearby are still holding a crust. That in-between stretch is when GG Landscaping does both halves of the job in a single week — a plow run one day, the first rake-out of winter's mess the next. Then the season opens all the way and it becomes mowing, trimming, hauling, the ordinary satisfying loop. Come December the loop runs backward again. Snow removal and lawn care for Valley Cottage and the rest of Clarkstown.
