In Brunswick the marsh runs right up to the edge of town, and the light coming off it at low tide turns everything a soft gold. Coastal Landscape & Design keeps yards under the live oaks here, where Spanish moss shifts in the salt wind and St. Augustine grass thickens through a long, humid summer. Mowing on a steady rotation, edges cut clean along the drive and sidewalk, trimmer work around oak roots, palmetto and fencing, then a blow-down that leaves the concrete bare. When the afternoon storms roll in off the water and the grass jumps overnight, keeping pace is the whole art of it. From the old town squares out toward the causeway, a well-kept yard answers the marsh with a little order of its own.
