Whitesboro sits on flat Mohawk Valley ground where the Sauquoit Creek runs out toward the river, and grass takes off fast in that bottomland. DB Property Maintenance keeps up with it — mowing on a steady rotation, edging the walks, trimming along fence lines and foundations, feeding the turf through a short and generous upstate summer. Beds get mulched once the frost is out, and seed goes down where the winter's plow wash has thinned the strip along the road. By late October the leaf work runs full time, because a valley lawn buried under wet maple leaves will not forgive you come April. Between the village green and the back roads out of town, there is a lot of ground worth keeping.
