Late afternoon in the Dominican neighborhood, sun comes sideways through the redwoods and every lawn on the slope deepens a shade for twenty minutes. Custom Hort. Landscape works those hillside yards in San Rafael, where a level patch of grass is something somebody built on purpose and ought to be kept that way. Mowing on the contour, trimming close along stone walls and stair rails, edging that follows the curve instead of fighting it. Fertilization and weed control keep the turf thick where shade and sun trade places through the day. It is lawn care measured by how the place looks when the light goes long.
