Shirley mornings start early in summer, before the William Floyd Parkway fills with cars headed down toward Smith Point. Munoz Landscaping is out ahead of that traffic — mowing, string trimming, edging beds and paths, hauling off what comes up, and handling the heavier cleanups when the oaks finally let go. Ground this close to Moriches Bay grows grass in bursts, and keeping it even takes a steady rhythm rather than a heroic one. The good part of the job is the last look back: a yard squared up, lines running true, nothing left behind but the smell of cut grass. Same neighborhoods, same route, all season long.
