Jamestown is barely a mile and a half wide at its broadest, and along North Road the stone walls run down toward open fields with the bay showing on both sides. Island Rubbish Service Inc keeps lawns on Conanicut cut and cleared, mowing on a regular round, trimming the edges, carrying off the clippings and the leaves. Salt air and thin island soil make for grass that grows tough and low, and it takes a consistent schedule to keep it even. There is a specific pleasure in a yard that looks tended when the wind comes hard off the water and everything else is leaning. Lawn care for a town where the bay is never more than a few minutes' walk.
