By noon in midsummer, Great East Neck Road runs bright and the shade under the street maples is the only cool thing for a block. Gustavo Landscaping Corporation works straight through it — weekly mowing, trimming tight to fences and foundations, edging the driveway aprons, and carrying the clippings off. West Babylon lawns sit on sand that gives up its water fast, so late summer becomes a matter of cutting a little higher and letting the grass keep its own shade. A finished yard on a hot afternoon has a particular look to it, squared and quiet. Cleanups in spring and fall hold it there.
