Everything in this town meets at right angles, the streets, the alleys, the little rectangles of grass in front of each bungalow, and a lawn looks best when the work agrees with that. Squaring one up means the border along the walk is a straight line again, the trimmer has been around every post and meter, the bed has a defined edge, and nothing is drifting out into the driveway. Late August, when the light drops early and the block is out on its porches, is when all of that shows. Behind it runs a steady schedule of weekly mowing, trimming, edging, mulch, shrub trimming and cleanups at both ends of the season. Small yards, done sharp.
