Everything in Ocean Acres grows out of sand laid over an old floor of oak and pine, which is why a lawn here rewards patience more than force. Down to the roots landscaping takes that literally — mowing at a height the turf can carry through a dry August, trimming clean around trunks instead of scarring them, edging beds so the line holds all season. Under the green there is a whole system doing the actual work, and the visible part is just the report card. Spring and fall bring the bigger jobs: winter debris raked out, leaves cleared before they smother the grass. It is thorough care for yards in Ocean Acres and the streets around it, done from the ground up.
