Kew Gardens and Forest Hills wear April well — slate roofs, brick and timber, and old plantings that mostly need somebody to wake them up. David Landscaping Services handles the waking: spring cleanups, mowing and edging, hedge and shrub trimming, bed work and mulch, then the steady weekly rounds all the way through the growing months. Near Maple Grove the canopy closes over the streets by June, and a shade lawn asks for a different touch than a sun lawn; knowing which yard is which is most of the job. The result worth showing up for is small and exact — even stripes across the grass, a bed line carved clean, a walk swept end to end.
