On Wellesley Island the lawn stops where the granite starts, and the St. Lawrence goes by below in that hard green you only find this far north. Creative Landscapes, LLC mows and trims those river yards — the Victorian lots at Thousand Island Park where the grass runs between porches, and the open ground out toward Fishers Landing that takes wind off the channel all day. Shallow soil over rock means every property has its thin patches and its lush ones, and a good cut works with both. Spring cleanup clears winter's blowdown from the shoreline edges; after that it is mowing, trimming, and edges held true against stone. The island always looks right when the grass is short and the water is doing all the moving.
