On the streets around Pulaski, the yards are small and square and cut with real attention, the way front lawns get treated when the neighbors are close enough to notice. Alexander´s Landscaping works the long green stretch of the Riverhead year here, often in the evening hours when the light goes amber over the rooftops and the air finally cools. Beds get mulched, edges get carved back to a clean line, and hedges get squared off before they sprawl into the sidewalk. Come autumn the leaves come off in one long push, gathered and gone before the first hard rain mats them flat. It is steady work on ordinary blocks that look better for it, house after house down the row.
