Down toward the Lemon Grove line the streets run flat and the front lawns sit right out where the whole block can see them. Propper Landscaping Company treats that exposure as the point — mowing in clean lines, edging until the border between grass and concrete could have been drawn with a straightedge, trimming the hedges level. Weeds are lifted young, the lawn is fed on time, and the walk is blown clear before the truck moves on. There's no trick beyond going back regularly and doing it the same careful way each visit. The result is a yard the neighbors notice without knowing quite why.
