August on the island runs hot and still, and the grass grows in bursts between sea breezes. R.a.a. Landscaping Corp keeps a firm hand on it — mowing at a height the heat can survive, edging along walks and drives so the borders stay honest, trimming hedge lines back off the turf, clearing the cuttings and debris at every visit. Discipline is what makes a lawn look effortless in the worst week of summer. When the route is finished the blocks read as a series of clean rectangles, one after another, all the way to the corner. That repetition is the pride of it.
