The little houses near old downtown Carrollton have deep front porches and yards you can take in at a glance — which means every unedged walk and every ragged corner shows. Lawncare by Josie treats those yards with the attention a small canvas deserves: grass cut to an even height, edges laid in clean against the concrete, trimming close around the porch steps and the mailbox post. In March the St. Augustine wakes up all at once and the visits settle into a weekly rhythm; in fall it is leaves and a cutback and putting the beds to rest. Nothing here is oversized, so nothing gets rushed. A modest yard done exactly right is a lovely thing to come home to.
