September empties Rockport's sidewalks and leaves the town to itself — Millbrook Meadow gone gold at the edges, the harbor flat, the light thinner every week. Rockport Landscape Services LLC uses that stretch well: mowing while the grass still runs, trimming and edging around walls and walkways, weeding out the beds, then the fall cleanup that lifts the leaves before the wet sets in. Yards here are small, terraced, hemmed in by stone, and hardly any two are alike. Working them takes hand tools as often as machines. What comes out is a property that looks composed rather than merely cut.
