By September the crowds thin and Greenport gets its own light back — low and gold, coming off Long Island Sound onto sandy yards and old privet hedges. Juan Lopez Landscaping keeps those yards through it: weekly mowing, trimming around posts and foundations, edges cut where lawn meets gravel drive. Sandy ground drains fast and browns faster, so the mowing runs high and the beds are mulched to hold onto whatever rain comes through. Leaf cleanups go late into November, when the wind does half the work and makes a mess of the other half. Nothing complicated about it — a lawn cut on schedule, the trimmings cleared off the path, a property that looks cared for on an ordinary Tuesday.
