Everything built in West Warwick was built to a line — the long brick faces of the Royal Mills, the granite sills, the streets stepping up from the water in Phenix. Reads Landscape Construction Inc keeps lawns to that same measure, mowing on a pattern, trimming close to foundations and fences, edging wherever turf has to meet concrete and stop. Late on a July afternoon the cut grass smells like the whole street, and the shadows of the maples fall in bands across the fresh rows. Seasonal cleanups open the ground in spring and strip it bare again once the leaves come down. Tidy work, in a town that has always respected a straight edge.
