Bolivar Beach Lawn Service

About Bolivar Beach Lawn Service

The first ferry of the morning slides in past the jetty with a rope of gulls strung out behind it, and the peninsula wakes up salt-damp and already growing. Bolivar Beach Lawn Service works this narrow ribbon of sand between the Gulf and East Bay, where the grass is tough because it has to be and every yard keeps a little beach in it. The rounds are the ordinary ones — mowing, edging, string trimming, blowing the clippings off the walk — done until the line along a shell drive runs straight enough to sight down. Under the stilt houses the shade stays cool and the sand stays soft, and that is exactly where a lawn either gets tended or gets surrendered to the dunes. They tend it, week after week, through the long humid Gulf summer and the soft green winters that follow.
