Modena sits where the orchards start to give way to open valley, Route 32 running north and south and the Shawangunk cliffs holding the western sky. The Wallkill bottomland grows grass with very little encouragement, which is a gift in May and a workload by the middle of June. Cross' Landscaping & Lawncare stays ahead of it with weekly mowing, trimming and edging from the first cut of spring to the leaf work in fall. Straight lines across a wide lawn, tight passes around the posts and the mailbox, debris off the turf before the ground freezes. Ordinary things, done in order, right across the season.
