Stickney lots run narrow and deep — a gangway on one side, a back gate, a garage at the alley end, and a green rectangle in between that a family actually uses. J.E.M Landscaping LLC works at that scale: mowing front and back, trimming along fence lines and foundations, edging the walk, keeping shrubs from crowding the path. Small yards leave nowhere to hide, so every pass is cut to fit the space rather than forced through it. In summer, when back doors stand open and dinner happens outside, a well-kept yard behind a two-flat is worth more than its square footage suggests. That is the room this crew is really tending.
