Ditmas Park keeps a surprise inside Brooklyn: freestanding Victorians, wraparound porches, actual front lawns under old oaks. Ivy League Landscaping keeps those lawns worthy of the houses, mowing in clean passes, edging the walk right up to the porch steps, trimming the foundation shrubs, feeding and seeding where the shade thins the turf. May is the month it all runs away from you, so the schedule tightens and the mowers start early. Come autumn the same streets bury themselves and the blowers and tarps come out. Order returns, and the porches look out over it.
