Shepherd Lawn Care

About Shepherd Lawn Care

The black lighthouse at Port Bolivar stands in the salt wind with nothing around it but flat ground and sky, and in October that ground finally cools enough to work all day. Shepherd Lawn Care puts its autumn into the yards near the ferry landing, where mowing slows, trimming gets fussier, and the leaves that do fall out here blow in sideways off the bay. A clean edge along a walk holds its shape a long time in the mild months, which makes fall the season to get every line right. Wind, salt and sand are hard on turf on this peninsula, so the care is patient rather than showy: cut, trim, sweep, come back. The reward is a yard that looks composed while the Gulf does whatever it likes on the other side of the road.
