The last hour of daylight in Long Beach comes in sideways off the water and makes every mowed lawn look lit from underneath. Epic Landscape Lighting works the yards along the numbered streets and the boulevards — mowing on schedule, edging the walks, trimming hedgerows back off the turf, clearing seasonal debris so the grass is not fighting anything. In a city this compact the lawn is the entire front garden, so its edges do most of the talking. When the crew pulls away at dusk the lines are still crisp and the sidewalk is swept clean. That is a good way to leave a block.
