In the old streets north of downtown Oklahoma City the houses are brick and deep-porched, and the trees were planted by people who never expected to sit in their shade. Come October the sycamores and elms let go all at once, and a lawn that looked settled in September disappears under a single week of leaves. Brian's Lawn Care 40 years of service. works those yards — mowing, trimming, edging, and hauling the fall off the grass before it mats down and smothers what is underneath. There is a particular satisfaction in a raked historic lawn: the brick walk visible again, the bed lines sharp, the porch looking out at something tidy. Few things in this city are older than these blocks, and they wear a clean yard well.
