Half the yards in Buckhead grow in shade — old hardwoods leaning over the property lines, sun arriving in pieces, grass that has to be coaxed rather than pushed. Lawnly cuts those lawns higher and slower so the blades hold what light they get, and keeps the trimming tight along stone edging and the bases of the oaks. Where the sun opens up, the mow tightens and the pattern comes back. Clearing off at the end matters most under trees, because a shady lawn will not shrug off a mat of clippings. The result is a yard that looks tended in dappled light, which is a harder thing than it sounds.
