On summer mornings the fog lies low over the yards and lingers there until the sun is well up and the grass begins to dry. Brass Lawn Services LLC works narrow lots and older yards where the ground tilts and every mowing line has to be chosen rather than assumed. There is real satisfaction in a stripe laid straight against a crooked old lane, and in edges cut so the walk reappears from under the grass. Trimming close along walls, clearing the clippings back off the flagstone, then standing at the gate to see whether the whole yard reads as one piece. A tended yard is something the neighbors notice on their evening walk.
