Up on the escarpment the woodlots crowd right against the vineyard blocks, and nearly every lawn in North East Township has trees leaning over some part of it. Black Squirrel Lawn Care mows those shaded, dappled yards — trimming in tight around trunks and stone, edging the drives, cleaning up whatever the canopy keeps letting go of all season. Grass under old hardwoods is a different animal than grass in the open: slower, thinner, worth the extra patience. In October the ridge turns and the township goes copper end to end. Even then the lawn holds its shape.
