Under the old maples of Gedney Farms the light comes down in coins, and grass there has to be coaxed rather than commanded. Roman Design & Landscaping Inc mows those shaded White Plains lawns at a careful height, overseeds where the canopy has thinned the turf, and feeds the ground so it can hold on to what it's given. Edging and trimming draw the property's lines; mulch keeps the beds dark and even against all that green. In November the leaf work begins in earnest, and in April the cleanup opens everything up again. Slow ground rewards attention, and attention is the entire method.
