Ballard Park hides an old quarry in the middle of Newport — ledge walls, ferns rooted in the cracks, a green pocket you can step into and forget the town entirely. Fransson Landscapes LLC follows the same instinct at a smaller scale, coaxing tidy, living ground out of yards hemmed in by stone and hedge: mowing on a set rotation, trimming along walls and posts, edging beds and walks, mulching, and shaping shrubs so they hold their form all season. Cleanups bookend the year — April clears out what winter left behind, November takes the leaves off the turf. Sea air keeps Newport grass growing well into the fall, which means more cuts and a longer green. That is a good problem to have.
