The Oswegatchie River bends through Edwards on its way north, and the hills above it are hemlock, maple and old talc country. Edwards Tree & Landscape, Inc. keeps the lawns in that pocket of St. Lawrence County — mowing a short, intense northern growing season, edging drives, trimming where the woods press in on the yard. Spring arrives late up here and leaves early, so every green week counts and the schedule stays tight. Cleanups open the ground once mud season lets go and clear the hardwood drop before the long cold arrives. A tidy lawn set against all that forest is a fine, hard-won sight.
