Mid-August mornings in Plattsburgh are the good ones: shade still under the maples, the lake flat and bright a few blocks east, everything growing again after Tuesday's rain. Mowing To College works those hours, cutting, trimming and edging lawns around the city before the heat makes anybody miserable. A lawn done right reads instantly — stripes running the same direction, the trimmer line tight along the foundation and the fence posts, clippings blown off the walk instead of left to stain it. It is straightforward work, and it is the kind neighbors quietly copy. Summer up here is short enough that every week of it counts.
