May in Clay is loud with mowers — every subdivision off Soule Road running the season's first real cuts, the grass jumping after a week of rain. Pro-Tec Lawn & Landscaping Services, LLC works those streets, mowing on a rhythm, trimming fence lines and mailbox posts, edging walks, and clearing the yard out at both ends of the season. The reward is a whole block of lawns that look intentional rather than merely mowed. Central New York gives roughly six good months of growth and expects you to use every one of them. This is an outfit that uses them.
