About Top Lawn

Stand at the corner of a freshly cut lawn and look down its length: the stripes run away from you, light then dark, and the whole yard suddenly has a grain to it. Top Lawn works for that — blades kept sharp, the pattern held straight, the height set for the grass rather than for the clock. Around Empie Park and the streets off Independence, Wilmington lawns get a generous season in which to look good, from the first March flush to the last cut in November. Edging, trimming and a full clearing of the walks finish every visit, while fertilization, weed control and aeration do the slower work underneath. The stripes are just the visible proof of all the rest.
