North of Gloversville the ground quits pretending to be flat and starts climbing toward the Adirondacks, and that pitch shows up in every yard. Big Green Landscape mows and trims the hill streets above Cayadutta Creek, where grass comes on fast in May and the maples throw shade by mid-afternoon. There is a plain pride in the final pass, when the stripes line up and the whole lawn reads as one green field. In winter those same slopes become a problem worth solving early — driveways that tip toward the road, plowed open and salted before the first errand of the day. It is the kind of country where a cleared driveway matters as much as a cut lawn.
