Wellfleet is sand and pitch pine and salt wind, with the harbor emptying out twice a day and the kettle ponds sitting cold and clear back in the woods. Growing a lawn out here is an argument with the soil, and Mow-Town Landscaping & Tree makes it — mowing right through the long green stretch, trimming, mulching beds against the dry spells, raking a yard open in spring and closing it again in fall. Winter flips the work over: the plow goes on, driveways off the back roads get pushed clear, walks are shoveled, sand goes down where wet snow glazes into a sheet. Storms on the Outer Cape can feel lonely, and being the first one to reach a door is the whole point. Wellfleet and the Outer Cape towns nearby.
