Slate Hill sits at its crossroads with white clapboard and deep front lawns, the kind of yards that get read from the road at twenty-five miles an hour. Eastern Landscaping keeps that reading honest — regular mowing, trimmed lines along walks and beds, leaves gathered before they mat down over the turf. Midday in the hamlet is quiet enough to hear a mower two properties over, and there is pride in holding a stripe straight the full length of a lot. Autumn arrives quickly in this part of Orange County, and the cleanup work follows the maples down. Nothing showy about it: a lawn that simply looks right, week after week.
