A bare yard is not a problem, it is a first draft — and out near the Uniondale line in May there are plenty of them, all dirt and possibility and a hose coiled by the step. Greatness Landscaping & Construction reads a property that way. Grades get set so water leaves the house, beds get cut where they will actually be seen, sod or seed goes down on ground that was prepared instead of merely raked, and a walk or a wall gives the whole thing a spine. After the installation the same crew keeps it: mowing, edging, trimming, cleanups when the year turns. Watching a blank rectangle become a place people sit in is the part of the work that never gets old.
