Old Bethpage sits on the sandy, oak-shaded ground along the island's spine, where Round Swamp Road runs past split-rail fencing and the restored village down the way keeps its own slower hours. Yard Smart Lawn Care Inc looks after the lawns of that neighborhood — weekly mowing, trimming, edging along drives and walkways, and cleanups in spring and fall when the oaks let go. August here arrives humid and heavy, and turf cut at the right height through it comes into September thick rather than scorched. The real pleasure is in the edge: a clean line where grass meets blacktop, still holding a week later. Old Bethpage, Plainview, Bethpage, Farmingdale, Hicksville, Syosset and Woodbury are all within reach.
