Late in the afternoon the light on Great East Lake goes long and flat, and every ridge left by a mower shows up like corduroy. Royle Turf & Tick tends Wakefield lawns with that in mind — straight passes, tidy corners, trimming close around posts and stone, edges held to a clean line. Spring brings the raking out of a winter's worth of grit and pine litter; autumn brings the oaks down in one long emphatic week. Between them runs the mowing season, one yard and then the next, all summer. The result is meant to be noticed only for looking right.
