Late August in the hills above Wellsville turns the hayfields gold while the mowed lawns down in the valley stay green. Ludden's Septic Services, Inc. handles the green part — mowing, trimming and edging on properties in the village and out along the back roads where a lawn runs right up to the hedgerow. Grass here comes on fast after a warm rain and slows fast in the shade of the ridges, so the cut gets read week by week rather than set once in May. There is real pleasure in the finished look of it: the straight lines, the clipped border, the drive swept off before anyone pulls in. Spring and fall cleanups bracket the year at both ends.
