Come September the county roads east of Hudson smell like cut grass and apples at once, and a mower running two fields over sounds like the last good weather being used up. Hudson Valley Landscaping, Inc. keeps lawns on that schedule — regular mowing through the season, string trimming around posts and foundations, mulch renewed in the beds, seed and fertilizer put down while the ground is still warm enough to take it. Fall cleanup follows: leaves off the turf, beds cut back, the yard handed into winter in order. Orchard country teaches patience with growing things, and a lawn rewards the same attention. Hudson and the surrounding Columbia County towns are the ground covered.
