Saturday mornings at the Royal Oak Farmers Market, flats of annuals go out the door faster than the produce, and by afternoon half the neighborhood is kneeling in a flower bed. Eugene Paul's Landscaping picks up where the good intentions run out — bed edging and mulch, planting and trimming, mowing on a steady week, and the cleanups at either end of the growing year. Small city lots reward planning: one well-kept bed under a front window changes the whole face of a brick bungalow. The work is patient, and it compounds, one season into the next. What began as a chore list ends up as a yard that makes people slow down.
