Evening in Valley Cottage arrives over the ridge, High Tor going purple while the last mower somewhere on the block winds down. Yards Apart Landscaping LLC often works right up to that hour — mowing, string-trimming, cutting beds back to a defined border, and sweeping the walk so the finish reads sharp under a porch light. Summer storms blow up the Hudson valley in a hurry and leave branches and leaf litter everywhere, and cleanup days follow them like a second shift. In winter the same trucks push snow: driveways, walks and lots opened and treated so ice never gets a foothold. A yard that looks composed in August and passable at six on a February morning is one promise kept twice.
