Columbia sits high on the hills south of the Mohawk Valley, dairy country where the wind crosses open pasture and you can watch three towns' worth of weather coming on. The Columbia Lawn Guys mow, trim and edge their way around those ridge roads and the lanes out near Cedarville, with cleanups when spring opens up and again after the leaves have finished falling. Hilltop lawns grow thick, dry out fast, and take a straight line beautifully. On a clear evening a fresh-cut yard up here looks like it just keeps going until the next farm. That's a fine thing to leave behind you at the end of a day.
