Fog comes up off Nantucket Sound before the light does, beading on scrub oak and drifting through the sandy yards of Dennis, and the work here starts in that grey hour. Out of South Dennis, Starboard Side Landscaping takes on landscape design, installation and maintenance; stone walls, brick walls, patios and driveways; irrigation and tree work; sod, seed and hydroseeding; thatching and aerating; railroad tie work; drywells; skidsteer and backhoe service; lot clearing; spring and fall clean-ups; and snow removal when a nor'easter comes in across the bay. There is a plain, physical satisfaction in this line of work on the Cape — a wall set true against loose sand, a lawn that takes hold where salt wind and thin soil conspire against it, a driveway scraped clean to the pavement while the rest of the road is still white. From the rise of Scargo Hill down to the Bass River, the results stay put: yards that hold their season, edges that read crisp from the street, ground that has been thought about.
