Early June on the Clinton Village Green, the bandstand throws a long shadow across grass that has finally caught up with the season. Dave's Landscaping works the streets ringing that green and the roads climbing out of the village — mowing on a steady rhythm, trimming close around fences and stone, edging walks so the line between lawn and pavement stays sharp. Grass in this corner of Oneida County comes on fast after the thaw and does not quit until frost, which suits a crew that would rather keep up than catch up. The reward is a yard that reads as cared for from the sidewalk, week after week, without fuss. That is enough to build a season on.
