Mud season is Indian Lake's least photographed month: snowbanks shrinking along Route 28, the ground soft underfoot, the grass still flat and pale from its months beneath white. Upstate Landscaping LLC starts right there — raking out matted turf, hauling off winter's grit and fallen limbs, letting air back into a lawn before it wakes. Then the fast Adirondack summer lands, and the mowing and trimming schedule holds steady while Blue Mountain greens all the way to its summit. Beds get mulched, borders get cut true, and in October the leaves come off before they can pack down. It is plain work in a place where plain work is what keeps a camp looking loved.
