Rondout Creek runs through Wawarsing the way it always has, past Napanoch and the old canal ground, and the yards along it grow thick in that damp valley air. Good Neighbor Lawn Maintenance LLC keeps them in order week by week — cutting on a set day, trimming tight to posts and steps, a clean edge at the drive, beds cleared, cleanups in spring and again when the leaves come down. Valley mornings start with fog lying on the low fields and burn off into clean blue by nine, which makes for a fine few hours to be out cutting grass. A yard done right sits easy beside its neighbors: nothing shaggy, nothing showy. That is most of what a street needs in order to look like it is doing well.
