The old Delaware & Hudson line through Slingerlands carries walkers and bicycles now, a level green corridor running straight through a hamlet of deep yards and heavy shade. Becker's Property Maintenance, LLC works the properties on either side of it — mowing and trimming beneath those big trees in summer, cleanups when the leaves finally let go, plowing and shoveling once winter sets its jaw. Shade lawns ask for patience; a drive tucked behind hemlocks asks for an earlier start. Both get what they ask for. Lawn care and snow removal, kept up week to week rather than rescued twice a year.
