In the Highlands the lanes are narrow and the hedges are old, privet and hydrangea grown tall enough to make rooms out of the yards. Estate Care keeps those grounds even-tempered across the Oak Bluffs calendar — mowing, trimming and the deep autumn cleanup, then plowing and hand-shoveling once the October rain turns to something colder. There is a particular pleasure in a late-fall morning here: the crowd gone, the light low and long, the lawn cut one last careful time. Winter work is quieter still — headlights on wet gravel, walks opened right up to the door. A place looked after never announces itself; it just never looks neglected.
