New York Mills sits along Sauquoit Creek, where the old mill blocks still line the water and the Mohawk Valley opens away to the north. David's Landscape & Construction LLC works the lawns and grounds of the village and the streets around it — grass cutting, edge work along the walks, shrub trimming, landscaping and bed care. Valley summers are generous here; give it a warm week of creek-side rain and everything wants cutting twice. Mornings start with dew still holding on the blades and end with the stripes running straight down toward Main Street. When the maples along the mill row turn all at once, the leaf work carries on right up to the first hard frost.
