The older streets of Carrollton keep their big oaks and their magnolias, and the lawns beneath them are all shade and root and patience. Simon Ramos landscaping & Tree Service LLC mows those yards in September, when the heat finally loosens its grip and the light turns long and easy. Trimming close around trunks and beds, edging the walks, blowing the porches and drives clear at the end. Shaded turf grows thinner and asks for a careful hand, and that care shows in how it holds up. A yard under old trees, cut well, is one of the prettiest things in this town.
