On the bayside the lagoons hold the sky flat as glass until a boat wake crosses them, and the lawns run right down to the bulkhead. Gold Coast Landscape & Irrigation looks after those yards through Ocean City's growing months — mowing, trimming, edging — and comes back in winter when weather pushes in off the water to clear drives and walks down to bare pavement. Snow doesn't visit a barrier island often, but when it does it arrives wet, heavy and sideways, and it wants moving before it sets. August and January ask for two different kinds of attention, and both end the same way: a property that looks handled. The reward is a driveway you can walk in shoes, and in summer, a lawn cut to the water's edge without a blade left in the bay.
