East of Rome the old canal corridor runs toward Oriskany as one long green ribbon — wildflower verges, cottonwood, cyclists out in the last hour of August light. Greenway Lawn Services & Landscaping LLC works that same country, mowing through the neighborhoods that back onto the trail and keeping planting beds and turf in trim. Late summer is the real test: the grass slows down, the weeds do not, and the whole difference shows at the edges. Cutting a clean line along a walk or a bed is what makes an ordinary yard look composed. On a good evening the last lawn of the day gets finished just as the light goes amber over the fields.
