The Mullica runs cedar-dark toward the bay, tea-colored where it slides beneath the pines, and that same sandy country lies under half the yards near Smithville. Innovative Landscape & Design works with what the ground gives — mowing, edging, trimming and seasonal cleanups through the growing year, then snow plowing, shoveling and ice control when the cold finally reaches the coast. Two kinds of weather, one habit: arrive before it becomes a problem, and never leave the borders half done. A lawn holding its lines in August and a drive opened at dawn in February are the same promise, kept twice.
