In Five Points and Curtis Park the yards are small and the stakes are high — a square of grass in front of a brick row house, a strip beside the steps, a patch behind the gate, all of it visible from the sidewalk in a single glance. B & E Services Inc works at that scale, where a mower has to fit through a gate and the trimmer does as much of the job as the deck does. These blocks catch morning sun full on the front, and grass here grows fast in May and slows hard in August, so the schedule bends with the year rather than fighting it. Edges get cut square against old stone and newer concrete alike, and the walk is left clean for whoever comes by. Small lawns, done exactly, add up to a street that looks cared for.
