About Sal’s Landscaping

Fog reaches Seaside before the sun does, sliding in off Monterey Bay and pooling in the low ground around Laguna Grande until every blade is beaded silver. That is the hour Sal's Landscaping goes to work — mower wheels laying the first dark tracks of the day across a wet lawn, the smell of cut green rising while the marine layer is still deciding whether to lift. The work is plain and it is done to a line you can see from the sidewalk: mowing, edging, string trimming, fertilization and weed control, aeration and overseeding, cleanups with the clippings carried off. By mid-morning the gray burns back to blue over Roberts Lake and the yard is standing at attention. A lawn on this stretch of the peninsula asks for steadiness more than drama, and steadiness is the whole idea.
