The Wynants Kill drops down its ravine toward the Hudson, and the streets above it hold some of the steepest front yards in Rensselaer County. Geise's Lawn Care mows those slopes and the flat lots alike, trims along walls, hydrants and fence lines, edges the sidewalk and drive, and sweeps the clippings off the pavement. Spring cleanups pull winter sand and packed leaves out of the beds; the fall round takes the load down before it mats over the grass. On a June evening with the creek running loud below, a freshly cut yard on a hillside street is a good thing to come home to.
