Late May at the north end, where Hereford Inlet turns and the garden beside the lighthouse comes into full color, the whole island seems to inhale before the season starts. Totten Landscaping spends those weeks getting Wildwood's lawns ready — cleanups first, then the cuts that bring the grass back to even, then edging that gives every walk and drive a defined shoulder. Turf on sand needs a lighter hand and a steadier schedule than turf on clay, and the difference shows in June. Trimming keeps the fence lines and foundations from disappearing under whatever grew fastest. By the time the crowds arrive, the yards are already squared away and nobody thinks twice about them, which is exactly the compliment.
