Mornings in Massena start with mist standing over the Grasse River and burning off about the time the first mower deck drops. Camrons lawn Management and Maintenance keeps to a route through those wide, flat yards along the river — regular mowing, trimming along foundations and fence lines, edging the walks, and hauling the clippings away. The growing window up here is short and it wastes no time; a week of June rain can put a lawn well ahead of anyone not paying attention. Spring cleanups pull out the sand and the salt-burned thatch the plows left, and autumn brings the maples down in a hurry. A lawn cut close and finished right to the pavement is a small thing, and it is exactly the thing people notice.
