Toward Sharpsburg the neighborhoods run newer, the lots square, the young maples not yet tall enough to throw much shade. Southern Lawn Designs treats those open yards as something to shape — mowing that sets the pattern, trimming that finds the edges, a cut border where grass meets bed or drive. A curve holds better when it is redrawn each visit, and a straight run only looks straight if the line is honest. Clippings come off the concrete rather than into the street. Give a yard a season of that and it starts to look composed instead of merely maintained.
