On Saturday mornings the Troy farmers market fills the streets down by the riverfront and the whole city seems to be outdoors at once. Pearl Landscaping & Patio Company works the same stretch of year the market does — mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups from the first warm weeks until the beds go quiet. Then the calendar flips and it becomes plowing: drives opened up, walks shoveled, salt down on the steps and the entryway. Troy is a city people walk, so the ground between a door and the street matters more here than most places. Green in summer, clear in winter, that ground gets looked after.
