About Fishwater Landscaping

East of the city the yards run down to brackish water — Hewletts Creek, Bradley Creek, the tidal fingers that fill and empty twice a day behind the houses. Fishwater Landscaping mows right to the line where lawn gives up and marsh grass takes over, which takes a light hand and a feel for where the soft ground begins. The wind off the water is hard on turf and harder on the shrubs, so the feeding and the weed control get tuned to what actually survives out there. On a still morning the mower is the loudest thing between the back door and the water, and by the time the tide turns the whole yard is cut, edged and swept. A view like that deserves a neat frame around it.
