The Zim Smith Trail runs the old rail line past Clifton Park, and walking it in late March you can watch the season change hour by hour. JCF Landscaping lives in those shoulder weeks — the spring cleanup that opens a yard back up, and the November work that closes it down before plow season begins. Through summer it is mowing, trimming, edging and mulch; through winter it is plowing driveways, clearing walks and salting the ice that forms where the sun never reaches. Two trades, one property, all twelve months of it. Clifton Park, Mechanicville, Round Lake, Halfmoon and Ballston Spa.
