Mid-morning at Playstead Park, the grass holds its cut lines like corduroy, and that is the standard Affordable Lawn Care Medford carries down every side street off Winthrop. This is lawn care built for Medford's particular yards — small, sloped, boxed in by fences and driveways that have been there longer than the fences. Mowing, trimming, edging along the walk until the line is clean enough to follow with your eye. Cleanups in spring when the winter grit comes off the turf, and again in fall when the maples let go all at once. Come July, when the air over the Mystic goes heavy and still, a tidy lawn is the coolest-looking thing on the block.
