Just below the village the Hudson narrows into the rock chute at Rockwell Falls, and the whole town is built on that same ledge-and-pitch kind of ground. Transformations Landscaping works with the grade instead of against it — beds shaped to a hillside, lawns brought back after mud season, plantings tucked where the shade already sits. Spring arrives here all at once, and there is one week when everything wants cutting back on the same morning. The reward is a yard that looks composed on land that never intended to be flat. By June the borders are held, the mulch is dark, and the slope looks like it meant to be that way.
