Forbes Hill yards arrive in terraces — a strip out front, a wall, then the real lawn lifted above the street with a view over the rooftops. Mowing ground like that at noon in July is deliberate work, walking the slopes, keeping the lines honest across a grade, trimming the wall line where no machine sits level. Luongo's Landscaping does the mowing, edging, trimming and cleanups that keep those small stepped lawns looking intentional. Heat comes up off the stone all afternoon, so the cut is left long and the water is left to do its part. Standing at the top of a finished terrace with Quincy laid out below is a fine way to spend a summer hour.
