Stissing Mountain throws its shadow across Pine Plains in the early hours, and the fields underneath hold the cool until the sun clears the ridge. Countryside Lawn and Home Care LLC starts its days in that cool — mowing, trimming close along foundations and fence lines, edging the walks, clearing winter's leftovers in spring and the leaf fall in October. Dutchess County yards run from tight village lots to long farm dooryards, and each one wants a slightly different pass. The good part is the last look back: the cut lying level, nothing missed along the foundation, the drive swept. A lawn like that quietly makes the whole house look better.
