The old streets of Hillcrest and the Heights are roofed in oak and hickory, which is lovely in July and a considerable quantity of leaves in November. Schneider Lawn Care LLC keeps up with both, mowing and trimming through the green months, then hauling away what those big trees drop across terraced yards and narrow side lots. Little Rock's older neighborhoods ask for careful hands, with retaining walls, surfaced roots and thin strips of grass between sidewalk and curb, where a good edge takes patience rather than horsepower. The result is a small lot that looks composed, its borders defined and its walkway clear underfoot. Then winter thins the canopy, the light gets down to the ground, and the whole street feels wider for a while.
