September in Chelsea Heights smells like the marsh at low tide, and the reeds past the last street go gold before anything else in town does. Gdl Landscaping Services mows, edges and trims the yards along that back-bay rim of Atlantic City, and keeps the hedges shaped where the wind is forever trying to lean them one direction. Ground this close to the meadows stays soft and grows late, which makes the timing of a cut its own small skill. What stays with you at day's end is the look of a lawn holding its shape against all that wild grass across the water. The work covers Atlantic City, Chelsea Heights, Ventnor City and Absecon.
