At Haverstraw the Hudson spreads wider than anywhere else along its run, and the light coming off that water finds every lawn on the slope above it. Alex Landscape Services works those yards right through the growing season — weekly mowing, edging, string trimming, and the cleanups that open spring and close autumn. There is a real satisfaction in a stripe laid straight on grass that tilts toward the river, and in a border cut so clean it reads like a drawn line. The ferry crosses to Ossining and back, the tide turns, and the grass keeps asking for the same steady attention. Yards get finished here before the afternoon haze settles over the bay.
