A July afternoon in Brookhaven is cicadas, heat shimmer off the blacktop, and privet putting out six inches of soft new growth in a week. R Santos Landscaping Corp meets that surge with shears and mowers both — hedges cut back to a true line, shrubs shaped, lawns mowed and trimmed, edges run clean where turf tries to creep onto the concrete. Summer here does not pause, so neither does the schedule; a yard skipped in August takes a month to look right again. Weeding and mulch touch-ups keep beds sharp under all that growth. Leaving a property at dusk with the hedges square and the grass cut is a good end to a hot day.
