The Spicket River takes its time through Salem, bending behind backyards and slipping under bridges on its way south toward the Merrimack. Along its banks in July the grass grows fast and lush, fed by warm nights and the thunderstorms that build over the hills in the late afternoon. Proline Landscaping answers all that growth with even mowing and borders along walks and beds so sharp they look drawn with a ruler. Later, as the air cools and fireflies rise over the fresh-cut rows, a well-kept yard seems to hold the long summer light a little longer. That is the craft and its reward: a lawn that makes a whole street feel more like July.
