Morning fog pools on the valley floor around Newton and burns off slowly, so the grass off Halsted Street stays cool and damp well past sunrise. That is when 2D Landscaping LLC gets to work — mowing in long even passes, running the trimmer around fence posts and mailbox stakes, cutting the bed edges back to a clean line. Clippings get blown off the walk instead of left to track indoors, a small thing that people notice all week. Spring here begins with raking out what the maples dropped in the wind; autumn ends with the last of the leaves gone before the ground goes hard. A yard that looks cared for is the whole point, and it shows from the street.
