Late spring at Five Islands Park: the tide low, gulls working the flats, the grass along Echo Bay growing faster than anyone can keep up with. That is the stretch when Valdovinos Landscaping & Masonry hits full stride. Mowing, week in and week out. Edges recut along the walks, trimmer work at posts and foundations, clippings cleared off the drive before the truck pulls out. Salt air and long light make for fast growth on this side of the city, and lawns near the water answer better to a steady schedule than to one big push a year. Stand at the curb when it is finished and the whole yard reads level and done.
