September at Pilots Point: masts clinking, the Patchogue River running out with the tide, hulls coming up onto stands for the year. The lawns around them keep growing a while longer, and Gold Coast Landscapes keeps them cut — mowing, trimming, edging along walks and beds until the grass finally gives up. Westbrook turf grows in sand and shade and salt spray, which makes an even, well-kept yard something you earn rather than something you find. The look worth chasing is plain enough: level color, sharp lines at the walk, no ragged corner behind the shed. Good work to leave behind on a bright blue shoreline afternoon.
