October on the ocean side of Wellfleet is all wind — it combs the beach grass flat along the Newcomb Hollow bluffs and drags cloud shadow across the whole town in under a minute. Prince Landscaping Inc. works those exposed properties off Ocean View Drive and the sandy lanes behind them, mowing and trimming through the season and getting the last of the leaves out of the beds before Thanksgiving. Edging is the small art of the trade: a firm line where lawn meets mulch, one that still holds after a gale. Winter arrives here with ice crust and blowing sand at once, so the blade drops early, walks are shoveled to the door, and the slick spots get sanded. Come April the beds are opened again, the mowers start, and the whole cycle begins over.
