Frost lingers in the clove below Hunter long after the ridge tops have warmed, so June is really when the season opens around here. R&E Lawn Care mows, trims and edges through it, working the properties along Route 23A and the side roads that climb away from it, with cleanups bracketing the short green months. Hemlock shade keeps some yards thin and cool while a clearing fifty feet away runs thick, one property with two lawns on it, and the deck has to know which is which. Cutting on grades this steep is slower work and the finish shows the difference. A tidy lawn tucked under mountain hemlock is a good thing to leave behind at the end of a day.
