Ridge

About Ridge

Noon in July, Admiral Heights: heat shimmering off College Creek, sprinklers ticking, the kind of light that shows every flaw in a lawn. Ridge does its work in full sun, mowing and trimming Annapolis yards through the hardest stretch of Maryland's turf calendar — this is transition-zone country, where summer tries to cook the cool-season grass and the cut has to be managed, not just made. Blade height, timing, a tidy line along the drive: small decisions that decide whether August turf is green or gone. The crew reads each yard and cuts accordingly. A lawn that holds its color into September here has been looked after, and it looks it.
