Spring reaches Hopewell Junction along the Dutchess Rail Trail, greening that corridor before the yards on either side catch up to it. MVP Lawn Care mows the neighborhoods off Route 376, cutting, edging, string trimming and hauling out the tangle of winter in the spring cleanup. The first mow of the year is the good one anywhere, and here it comes with the smell of wet ballast stone and new grass at the same time. Through summer it settles into rhythm: even height, sharp edges along the drive, clippings kept off the walk. By fall the leaves arrive and the same yards get cleared back down to green.
