North of Rochester the land flattens into orchard country, and Hilton sits square in the middle of it, between the old Ridge Road shoreline and the blue rim of Lake Ontario. Buttonwood Farm mows and trims yards across that fruit plain, working early the way this ground has always been worked. Spring cleanups clear winter's litter from the beds before the apple rows go white with bloom, and summer visits keep the grass even and the edges honest. Fresh mulch darkens a border until the whole front of a house looks newly drawn. A cut lawn against a green orchard line is a small, plain kind of beauty, and it is worth doing right.
