North of Latham the ground tips down toward the Mohawk, and the river path stays green all summer under cottonwoods that never once stop moving. Freemans Lawn Care keeps the lawns on that side of town on a steady cut — mowing, string-trimming, edging along drives, and cleanups in spring and again once the leaves come down. River-valley grass grows hard in June and wants a week-in, week-out hand rather than one heroic afternoon. A yard held to that pace never gets away from anybody. Colonie looks its best in long strips of cut green, and that is the job.
