Ogdensburg wakes with the St. Lawrence at its door, and the light coming off that much water is wide enough to make a modest side yard read like a meadow. Christophersons Lawn Services Ca. works in that light — mowing, trimming, edging, and hauling the clippings off so the ground is left clean behind them. There is a particular satisfaction in the first pass of the season, when the grass has come in thick from a long thaw and the lines finally run straight toward the river. Lawns here take the whole weight of a short North Country summer, and they answer well to steady, unhurried attention. Around the city and out toward Lisbon and Heuvelton, the aim stays simple: a yard that looks cared for from the sidewalk and feels cared for underfoot.
