Franklin Square keeps its blocks close, with small front lawns, clipped hedges, driveways side by side, and the maples down toward Rath Park doing what they can over the sidewalks. On a Saturday morning the whole neighborhood is outside, and a lawn cut clean with a true edge along the walk sets the tone for the row. Mowing a yard this size is precision more than distance: tight turns, trimmed borders, nothing thrown across the property line. Spring brings the clearing after a salty Long Island winter; late autumn brings the sycamore leaves off in one long run. Small lawns show every detail, which is exactly why the details get their time.
