Route 2 climbs east out of Troy beneath a canopy of old maples, and by mid-October that road is a tunnel of color all the way up to the plateau. T's Trees LLC keeps ground at both ends of that climb — mowing, trimming, edging and the seasonal cleanups for when the canopy finally lets go. Higher up the same storms drop more, so winter means plowing drives, clearing walks and laying salt where the shade never quite releases the ice. There is a real satisfaction in a property that looks looked-after in every month of the year. It comes down to being there on the right morning.
