On a midsummer evening the water at Oakdale Lake goes flat and gold, and the lawns on the streets running back from it hit their best hour — long shadows, no glare, every cut line visible. Morrison's Property Maintenance works toward that look: mowing on a set rotation, trimming where the mower cannot reach, edging the walks and drives, mulch topped up so the beds hold their shape. The season starts with a cleanup and ends with one, leaves off the grass before the first hard freeze. Property maintenance is unglamorous and cumulative — done every week, a lot looks composed by August without anyone quite noticing when it happened. Hudson homes and the nearby Columbia County towns are on the route.
