Oriskany sits where its own creek finds the Mohawk, and by June the valley floor is about as green as central New York gets. CNY Lawn and Landscape works that ground — mowing, edging, string trimming and the cleanups that start and finish a season, on the flats and on the low rises above the river. Valley mornings often arrive with fog off the water; it burns away by nine and leaves the grass just dry enough to cut. A straight line drawn down a river-bottom lawn is a good-looking thing, and it holds all week. Whitesboro, Yorkville, Rome and Utica are all short runs up the valley.
