In Port Orange the coquina walls of the old Dunlawton sugar mill still stand among the live oaks, and the gardens around them hold the deep, cool green that only shade and patience make. Ormond Lawn Care brings that same patience to the yards of this Halifax River town, where breezes drift in from the river and the tide breathes in and out of Spruce Creek. Lawns here have to live with sandy soil, sudden summer downpours and oak roots that run wherever they please, so each visit is about attentive care: a level cut, crisp edges, leaves and clippings cleared from the walks and drives. Spring is when it shows most, as the oaks drop last year's leaves and push out new ones and a freshly tended lawn lies bright beneath them. It is unhurried work, and it makes a street feel settled.
