East Utica in late August holds its heat well into the evening — brick two-families, narrow driveways, small back yards that get tended with real attention. Battaglia Landscaping and Supply mows and trims through that grid of streets, taking the tight turns the way you only can when you know which fence post sits a foot inside the line. A yard here is measured in feet rather than acres, which means every edge shows, and a sharp line along the walk is the whole picture. Cleanups arrive when the maples let go and the gutters fill along Bleecker. It is simple work to describe and a pleasure to look at from the sidewalk.
