Old stone walls run through half the yards in Lenox, and mowing around them is a lesson in patience. Traditional Landscaping does exactly that work — cutting, trimming close to wall and post, edging along drives and beds, mulching, and clearing the ground in spring and again after the leaves come down. September is the month for it: cool mornings, grass thick and dark, the light gone long by four o'clock. A yard finished properly has no loose ends — nothing left on the walk, nothing shaggy at the fence line. That is a plain ambition, and it holds up year after year.
