The old oaks along the hill roads hold their shade deep into the morning, and grass under them grows a different way than grass in the open — slower, thinner, wanting a lighter hand. Great Oak Landscaping Inc. cuts to that, mowing, trimming and edging so the shaded side and the sunny side end up looking like one property. Late in the fall those same trees drop a load that has to come off before the lawn goes under it for the winter. A clean border along a bed, a lawn combed even across surface roots — small things, but they are the things people actually see. Great Oak works in Wappinger and its neighboring towns.
