In March the Cohoes Falls come loose all at once — brown water over the ledge, loud enough to hear from blocks away — and the city knows winter is on its way out. Bickford Landscaping, LLC works both ends of that turn: plowing driveways and clearing walks while the cold still owns the mornings, then raking out the winter's wreckage as the ground softens. Mowing follows, and trimming, and the steady weekly rhythm of keeping a yard looking like someone loves it. Cohoes asks a lot of a property between the ice and the green, and there is pride in answering on both counts. A drive opened before breakfast in February and an edge cut sharp in July are the same job, really.
