September turns the ravines gold here long before the open lawns give up any color at all. Around Gilbert Lake the yards fall away toward water in stretches no straight-line mower would ever love, and Legacy Lawn and Landscape cuts them anyway — mowing, trimming the awkward corners, edging the drive, keeping beds clear of whatever the oaks let go. A slope cut cleanly, stripes running with the grade instead of arguing with it, looks deliberate from a hundred yards off. That is the craft of it: making difficult ground look easy. These are yards under century oaks, and the work is keeping them as unhurried as they appear.
