Fairfield sits on a plateau above the Mohawk Valley, high enough that on a clear day the view runs south for miles and the wind never entirely quits. Fairfield Property Services keeps the lawns on that open tableland, mowing on a weekly turn, trimming, edging along the drives, fertilizing, and handling the cleanups when spring opens and fall closes. West Canada Creek cuts its way down off to the east, and the dairy farms up here hold the same wide green shape they always have. Grass grown in this air is tough and dark and takes a stripe well, which makes finished work easy to stand back and admire. Leaves come off ahead of the plateau's first snow, which never waits long.
