A house on Lily Pond Lane in February is mostly a house alone, shutters closed, the beach at the end of the road with nobody on it. Hoyt Property Care, Inc. looks after East Hampton properties through both halves of that year: mowing, edging, trimming and cleanups when the place is full of people, plowing and shoveling when it isn't. Snow driven in off the Atlantic can shut a drive in a single night, and an empty house still needs its approach clear. Come May the same lawn takes its first cut, the beds are opened, and everything looks ready before anyone arrives to see it. Care that happens whether or not you are there to watch is the useful kind.
