North of the city at Ridge Mills the Mohawk is barely more than a stream, and mist sits over it until the sun clears the treeline. Goodman's Lawncare & Landscaping LLC starts early enough to see that happen, tailgate down and blades already turning as the dew burns off. Mowing, trimming, edging, hauling away whatever needs hauling — the list is not long, but the difference between a yard half-done and a yard finished lives in the last ten minutes. Bed lines get their shape back, the walk gets swept, the mower goes up on the trailer. Then on to the next one, and the neighborhood tidies itself house by house across the morning.
