Scotchtown spreads north of Middletown across the Wallkill valley, with the Shawangunk ridge holding the western sky and autumn arriving early up on that rim. R. Williams Lawn Care keeps the yards of these neighborhoods in order — mowing through the long Orange County growing season, trimming around posts and plantings, edging drives and walks, then the big haul-out when the oaks and maples give it all up at once. Valley storms roll through hard in summer and leave twigs and leaf litter behind; part of the work is putting a lawn back to rights the morning after. Spring opens the year with raking, pulling off winter's flattened thatch so the grass can stand up green again. A yard done right here looks unfussy and awake, which is exactly the point.
