Late afternoon at the Chula Vista Bayfront, the wind off San Diego Bay carries the smell of salt marsh from the Sweetwater refuge, and the Coronado skyline goes soft against the water. Picket Fences Landscaping borrows its name from a very particular picture of home: white rails, a gate that clicks shut, a lawn running green right up to the porch. That picture is what the business works toward in Chula Vista, landscaping and mowing until grass runs level, edges sit neat where lawn meets fence and path, and beds stay tidy. The bay keeps winters gentle here, which is good news for grass and means the mower is never put away for long. Walk home as the sun sets behind Point Loma, and the yard behind the fence looks just the way the name pictured it.
