Ducktown holds its heat between the houses in July, and the yards there are small, square and hard-won. B Bruno Landscaping LLC works those Atlantic City lots the way they have to be worked: the mower turned by hand at the fence line, the trimmer walked around the gas meter and the old fig tree, the beds weeded down to dark mulch. Where every foot of ground is spoken for, a tended yard becomes a kind of argument for the whole block. By late afternoon the shade returns to the alleys, the concrete is swept, and the grass stands even from the back step to the gate. The route carries on through Ventnor City, Northfield and Linwood.
