Dryden sits on the shoulder between the Cayuga basin and the Cortland flats, high enough that spring shows up late and winter shows up early. Finger Lakes Lawn & Landscape works both ends of that: mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups while the ground is green, then plowing, shoveling and salting once it is not. The switch happens fast — one week it is a final leaf pass, the next a driveway needs to be open by six in the morning. Both jobs come down to the same thing, which is a property somebody can use without giving it a second thought. Around here the hills make every driveway a little different, and those differences are worth learning one at a time.
