Bay Road leaves Queensbury heading north as straight as a ruled line, and late in the afternoon the sun comes in low and level along it, laying every blade of grass out in relief. That is the hour Ben Barber Properties LLC likes best, because it tells the truth about a mowing job — you can see a wavering stripe from a hundred yards off, and you can see a good one too. We mow, trim and edge the lawns along that corridor and the side streets that feed it, working property by property rather than in a hurry. An edge cut clean along a walk holds its shape for days, and a homeowner notices it every time they come up the drive. Between the mowing weeks come the spring and autumn cleanups, when the yard gets emptied out and starts fresh.
