Half the yards in Pultney Township are hung on a hillside, terraced and walled into benches above the Ohio, and every one of them mows differently than it looks from the road. Big Bear Lawn Care and Landscaping takes those slopes on with the right footing and the right line, cutting across the grade so the turf stays put and the stripes still land straight. Trimming handles the retaining walls, the stair rails and the stubborn corners a deck makes, and bed work keeps the plantings from swallowing the walk. Come autumn the same hills throw leaves downhill for weeks, and the cleanups follow them until the lawn is clear. A hillside lawn that looks effortless is a small local miracle, and it takes some doing.
