Late August in Riverside, the west wind comes up off the Niagara and moves through the yards all afternoon, and the grass keeps growing right up until the light goes. Royal Landscaping and snow powling keeps that growth in hand — weekly mowing, trimming along fences and foundations, edging where sidewalk meets lawn, and cleanups in spring and again when the maples let go all at once. The river blocks have narrow lots and long back drives, so the work is close and patient rather than broad. A yard cut in even stripes, with the trimmings swept off the concrete, reads as care from clear across the street. That look is what gets left behind at the end of every visit.
