At the Marshlands the salt meadow goes tawny in September and the tide comes up quiet through the grass. DGD Landscape Designs carries a little of that composure into Rye's yards — mowing on a set rotation, trimming, edging along bluestone and brick, beds cleaned out and mulched, cleanups in spring and again once the leaves let go. Shade is the local puzzle, with old trees standing over half the properties in town, so the mowing has to be read yard by yard. The reward is turf that looks intentional beneath those canopies, with a border you could have drawn against a straightedge. Rye is a town that notices such things.
