Everything a house says, it says first from the curb. A1 Curb Appeal works that six feet of Vineland where lawn meets sidewalk meets street — edging a clean groove along the concrete, trimming tight to the mailbox post, mowing so the stripes run true across an open front yard. The city's grid gives the work an audience; on these long straight blocks one crisp lawn lifts the whole run of them. Spring and autumn bring the cleanups, beds cleared and leaves hauled off so the front of the house comes back into focus. A small thing to fuss over, and worth the fussing.
