Moreau sits on sand and pine, in the elbow the Hudson makes before it turns south past Spier Falls — ground that drains fast and grass that asks for attention. Betterbucks quality lawn care answers with mowing, trimming, edging and the seasonal cleanups that carry a yard from thaw to leaf-fall. In June the mornings come off the river cool and heavy with mist, and by afternoon the lawns are dry enough to stripe. There is real satisfaction in the final pass, when the edge along the drive comes up straight and every clipping is gone. A tended lawn in the shadow of the southern Adirondacks looks like someone lives there on purpose.
