Andersen Springs was laid out around water — narrow lakes threading between the houses, ash trees leaning over the banks, ducks that treat the lawns as an extension of the shoreline. Landscape By Mel keeps those yards cut and squared, working October mornings when the cool finally arrives and the overseeder can go out. Mowing and edging carry the week; feeding carries the color; cleanups take away the leaf drop and debris that collects along the fence lines. Trimming closes the gap between grass and gravel so the border stays a border instead of blurring. A lawn beside water should look composed, and getting it there is mostly a matter of returning again and again with the same attention.
