About Cape Cod Yard & Tree Service
On the Outer Cape the light arrives twice — once low off the bay at First Encounter, once hard off the Atlantic behind Nauset — and between them the salt wind combs everything sideways and shows you every ragged edge a yard has. Cape Cod Yard & Tree Service answers that in sand-and-pitch-pine country, mowing and watering lawns through the dry stretch of August, keeping water systems running, drawing up planting plans and setting the trees and shrubs into them, pruning and taking down what the weather has finished with, grinding the stumps back down to grade. They put it plainly themselves: the preparation, sowing and maintenance of lawns, trees and plants — which undersells the ordinary satisfaction of a lawn cut clean to the edge of a sand road, beds turned dark, a young oak given room enough to lean into the wind instead of fighting it. The work runs the length of the elbow, Truro and Wellfleet down through Eastham, Orleans, Chatham and Brewster, and when the nor'easters come through in November the shape they left behind is still legible: ground squared away, everything standing where it was meant to stand, waiting for green.
