Late August in Osterville: hydrangeas going papery, privet grown shaggy, East Bay flat as glass by evening. Mendoza Landscaping & Lawn Care cuts and shapes the yards along the lanes running down to Dowses Beach, where hedges frame the lawn and every edge is on display. Mowing, trimming, edging, hedge and shrub work, mulching and bed maintenance make up the weekly round. When the season turns it becomes leaf removal and fall cleanup, right up until the lanes go quiet. Crisp lines against dark green — that is what all of it is for.
