Late August, and the evening wind off Glen Island carries salt up over the seawall and into the yards along the shore road. Sound Shore Landscaping keeps lawns going in that air: mowing, edging, trimming beds and fence lines, and clearing the cut grass before the breeze can scatter it. Turf near the water lives a harder life than turf inland, and it does best with a regular hand and a blade set a little high. Between the harbor light and the last of the day, a finished lawn out here holds its color longer than you would expect. When fall thins the canopy, the same yards get cleared out and set right before the cold.
