From Top of the World the town falls away in tiers, and at dusk every one of those tiers lights up while the ocean goes to pewter. Maxwell Brown Designs tends the lawns strung along those upper ridges, where the wind is stronger and the soil is thinner than anyone expects. The work is mowing and edging on a set rotation, with fertilization and weed control adjusted for slope and exposure. On a ridge lot the details show from three streets down, so the edges get cut sharp and the clippings go with the truck. There is real pride in leaving a hilltop yard so tidy it reads clean from the road below.
