The slopes above Marlboro are laid out in vines and fruit trees, following contours worked out long before anyone paved a road here. Noto Landscaping Excavating keeps the properties among them in order — mowing, trimming, edging and cleanups while things are growing, plowing and shoveling once they stop. October is the turn: harvest light, then the first hard freeze, then the season's first push down a driveway. Working ground that tilts toward a river teaches you where water goes and where snow piles up. That knowledge shows in how a lot gets cleared and how a lawn gets cut.
