The growing season this far into the mountains is short and knows it — everything greens at once in late May and runs hard until the first cold night. ADK Gardens mows, trims and edges through that compressed summer, keeping pace with grass that has no time to waste. Mornings come in cool off the water even in July, which makes for good mowing hours. Spring cleanups clear the sand and needles winter leaves behind; fall cleanups come early up here. A tended lawn set against dark balsam and gray rock reads brighter than it would anywhere else.
