Claremont keeps a handsome common at Broad Street Park, all shade and old trees, and the neighborhoods around it hold that same standard out front. D. Adams Landscaping mows and maintains those lawns — a regular cut, trimming around fence and foundation, a clean edge along the sidewalk, mulch in the beds, and the raking that opens spring and closes fall. Midsummer in this valley runs humid and generous, and grass answers fast to heat and rain. Staying ahead of it week by week is the whole discipline, and the result is a lawn that looks intentional rather than merely alive. A good edge is a small thing, but it is the first thing anyone sees.
