Where the Connecticut River widens toward its mouth, the afternoon light comes off the water and lingers on the lawns above Ferry Point long after it has left the street. Landscaping Riverview keeps lawns in Old Saybrook on that steady warm-weather schedule — mowing, trimming and the ordinary weekly care that decides what a yard looks like by August. Brackish wind and quick-draining coastal soil make a lawn here a particular thing to grow, and most of the answer is simply showing up for it, cut after cut. Nothing sets a house off like turf that runs even to the corners and stops clean at the walk.
