In May the Hudson Highlands come green from the bottom upward, the color climbing the ridge behind Stony Point a little higher each week until it finally tops out. G Planet Landscaping LLC works that same rising season at ground level — first mows, borders recut after the winter's heave, beds cleared, lawns coaxed back into shape. Spring on these slopes leaves gravel scattered in the grass and matted leaves packed into every corner, and none of it goes anywhere on its own. Clearing it is unphotogenic labor that makes everything after it possible. By June the lawns look as though they were never neglected at all, which is precisely the intention.
