August turns the South Shore dry and pale, except down near Lemon Creek where the tide keeps things honest and the mornings arrive heavy with dew. Between Huguenot and Prince's Bay the lawns run wide and open, and by mid-summer they show every inch of neglect and every inch of care. Pacific Lawn Sprinklers Staten Island, NY keeps those yards in the green column — mowing on schedule, edging clean along the long front walks, trimming the borders, tending beds so nothing goes ragged in the heat. Watching a tired lawn come back through the last weeks of summer is a genuinely good feeling. Then the cleanups come, and the year starts folding itself away.
