August in Osterville is all clipped hedges and long shadows, the road out to Dowses Beach shimmering by three in the afternoon. Sunflower Landscaping keeps the lawns of that village and the ones around it green and closely mown through the heat, trimming edges, tidying beds and carrying the clippings off so nothing sits. When the season turns they take the leaves down and put the grass to bed, then wait for the ground to warm again. Sandy Cape soil drains quickly, so consistency does more for a lawn here than any single big effort. Their work shows up in the small stuff — a straight edge, a level cut, a yard that looks looked-after.
