Late August at Recreation Park, the old maples throw shade so deep the grass beneath them grows nothing like the grass ten feet away. SnS Landscaping and Tree Removal knows those lawns well — mowing around roots and trunks, trimming in close, edging, mulch rings, hedge trimming, and clearing up when the leaves arrive and once they are gone. Shade turf is its own puzzle: it wants a higher cut, a lighter hand and patience through a dry stretch. When it comes in even from the sun line all the way to the trunk, that is the day's win. Old trees and good grass can share a yard; it just takes knowing how.
