Lynn Shore Drive takes the weather first — salt spray on the seawall, wind off Nahant Bay with nothing in its way to slow it down. Leahy Landscaping Inc works a city shaped by that ocean, plowing driveways and clearing walks while the streetlights are still the only light on the water, then mowing those same yards level and green once the gulls give the mornings back. A lawn near the shore has its own stubbornness, and it shows in the edge lines and in how a strip recovers after a hard blow. The pride here is plain and visible: a straight cut, a clean curb, a path to the door nobody has to think twice about. That is what this stretch of coast asks for, storm season and growing season alike.
