Out on the streets that back up against Prospect Park, the grass wakes early — the park's old trees throw long shade, and lawns there grow uneven if nobody minds them. Samuel Lewis Landscapes LLC mows those yards on the cool side of the morning, edging clean against the bluestone and trimming the corners a mower can never quite reach. Come October the leaf fall off the park's canopy is genuinely serious work, and the rakes and blowers earn their keep. What stays with you is the turn at the gate afterward: even stripes, a crisp border, nothing left on the walk. Small yards, done carefully, one block at a time.
