Lawrence keeps deep privet hedges and long lawns behind them, and on a June morning the salt air comes up off the channel well before the heat does. Bella Flores Landscaping, Inc. works those yards early — mowing, trimming and edging, mulched beds, hedges and shrubs shaped, flowers planted for the color the whole summer gets judged by. Ground this near the water grows hard and fast and turns shaggy inside a week, so the round never really pauses. A hedge line true enough to sight down is worth every minute it takes. In the Five Towns a lawn is half the house.
