Cross the bridge to the Scotia side and the light comes off the water differently — flatter, wider, kinder to a lawn in early evening. Four C's Landscaping works both banks, mowing on a schedule that holds color through a hot Schenectady July, trimming close along fence lines and foundations, edging beds so they read clean from the street. Spring brings the rake-out and the first cut of the year; autumn is a matter of staying ahead of the leaves until the trees finally give up. Small yards, long lawns, corner lots that get looked at from two directions — the pattern changes, the attention doesn't. There is a plain pleasure in finishing a property just as the light goes gold over the river.
