Midtown Tulsa keeps its brick streets and its old shade — Swan Lake in the morning, Woodward Park in redbud season, the deep lawns of Maple Ridge running back to the alleys. Roark Landscape works among those big trees, where turf and beds share the same ground and neither can be handled carelessly. Mowing, edging along brick and bed lines, trimming, and lifting the season's leaves out of the borders add up to a yard that reads composed from the sidewalk. Spring here is azaleas and a week of pollen on every hood in the neighborhood; the mower goes out anyway. A tended midtown lawn looks like it belongs to the street it sits on.
