At Caughdenoy the Oneida River moves slow and green past the old dam, and the lawns on that side of Hastings run down toward the bank. K-Cuts Mowing keeps them cut — mowing, string trimming and edging on a steady weekly turn through the warm months. River-bottom ground grows thick and grows fast, so the machine goes over it while it can still slice rather than tear. A bank mowed straight to the water's edge is worth the extra walking it takes. Between the dam and the county road, that is the whole ambition: even grass, sharp corners, nothing left ragged.
