Conesus Lake lies long and narrow between the Marrowback hills, and the lawns running down toward it have to look handsome from the water as well as the road. Finger Lakes Hardwoods & Landscaping Design keeps them that way — mowing on a rhythm, trimming around docks, stone and posts, shaping beds, clearing the yard down in spring and again once the leaves finish. Lakeside grass grows fast through July and the wind off the water carries every clipping somewhere. Design work here starts with reading a slope before planting into it, because half of Conesus is hillside. A lawn that holds its lines all the way to the shoreline is worth the extra pass.
