Off Washington Street, where clapboard cottages left from the shoe-shop years sit close to the road behind low stone walls and narrow dooryards, the grass runs right up to the sidewalk and asks to be kept. 3D Landscaping tends these lawns across Whitman, working down the flat southeastern streets with the mower tracing a clean line along each fence. There is a plain satisfaction in a yard cut even and trimmed at its edges — the striped green catching the low afternoon light, the walk swept clear, the border crisp against the pavement. Summer runs long and shaded under the maples here, and the work is the steady kind that leaves a whole street looking cared-for from one corner to the next.
