The harbor's east shore keeps its shelter: at Shimmo and out toward Pocomo the water only ripples while the south side takes the brunt. Nantucket Trees Landscaping mows, trims and edges lawns through the growing season, and plows, shovels and sands once the cold sets in. Late May here smells of low tide and cut grass at the same time, which is about as good as this island gets. December brings the first hard freeze up the harbor road, and the work shifts to opening drives while the sky is still black. Both halves ask the same thing: finish the corners, sweep the walk, leave it better than you found it.
