By midsummer the sand at Wallis Sands is too hot to stand on, and half a mile inland the lawns are asking for help. In The Weeds Turf Care is exactly what the name says — turf work for Rye's coastal ground: mowing on schedule, core aeration to open up packed soil, overseeding to thicken the thin spots, feeding the grass at the right points in the season, and cleanups at either end of the year. Coastal soil runs sandy and drains fast, so building turf that stays dense all the way through August takes patience and repetition. There is a quiet joy in walking a lawn in September that was patchy back in May.
