Down in Waterfront South, where the old shipyard cranes still stand above the rooftops and the bell at Sacred Heart carries a few blocks in every direction, the yards are compact and square and worth doing well. JR Lawn Service cuts them on a regular turn — even height, trimmed close along fence posts and stoops, the sidewalk line kept honest. Spring starts with a cleanup that clears out the winter grit; fall ends with leaves gathered before the wind stacks them against the porch. The walk gets cleared before the truck pulls away. A small lawn, kept sharp, gives a whole street a lift.
