The hills of Mount Pleasant do not sit still — they tilt every yard a little, and water, light and leaves all end up somewhere downhill. Angels Landscaping Tree Work & Design reads that grade first, then mows, trims and edges so a sloped lawn still reads as one unbroken sheet of green. Autumn along the Taconic's stone-arched shoulders turns the whole hamlet gold and then drops it in a single week, and the cleanups run late into the blue evenings. Come January a nor'easter can leave a foot at the top of a driveway and a wind-packed drift at the bottom, and both have to go. What stays with the crew is the moment a steep drive is finally open, clean corner to clean corner, and the first car slides out easy.
