In Rhinebeck the land rolls east from the river in fieldstone walls and hedgerows, and at the end of every west-facing lane the Catskills stand blue across the water. Lupe Garden Design, LLC tends those grounds — mowing and trimming, cutting bed lines, mulching, weeding, planting and caring for the gardens that tie a house to the ground it sits on. Spring opens with cutting back and clearing the wood winter brought down; September turns everything slow and gold; October is leaves, gathered off the lawn and out of the beds while the light is still worth working in. There is a particular pleasure in a border that reads as intentional from the road, and in a stone wall no longer half-swallowed by growth. Village lot or open acreage, the aim holds steady: a place that looks like somebody loves it.
