Above Williamstown village the road climbs to hayfield ridges and Rood Pond, where you can watch a squall cross the valley twenty minutes before it lands on you. Orange County Property Management works both halves of that year — mowing, trimming and cleanups from the first green flush through leaf-fall, then plowing, shoveling and sanding once the ponds skim over. Ridge properties get wind and drifting; village lots get the slush the town plow leaves at the end of a drive. Summer up here is short and loud with mowers, and the grass takes advantage of every warm week it's given. Either way it comes down to timing — arriving when the weather says to, not when it's convenient.
