Down at the Mill Pond the water holds the sky, and the village around it keeps its lawns close-cropped and its walks open — that is the standard Monroe Landscaping works to. Warm months mean mowing, trimming and edging on a set rotation, with cleanups to open the spring and close the fall. Cold months turn the same trucks to plowing driveways and lots, shoveling steps and walkways, and putting salt down where ice sets up overnight. The mornings worth remembering are the ones nobody notices: pavement dark and bare by seven, the storm already yesterday's news. Palm Tree, Monroe, Woodbury, Harriman and Central Valley are home ground.
