In the Old North End the yards are small and close-set, a strip of grass between the porch steps and the sidewalk, and every one of them shows exactly how it was cut. Burds' Lawn Care keeps those blocks in order — mowing, string trimming along fence lines and foundations, edging where the concrete meets the green, and leaf cleanup once the maples on North Street let go. The round runs from the first mow after mud season to the last raking before the ground locks up. There is real satisfaction in a narrow city yard done properly: no missed strip behind the shed, no clippings tracked up the stairs. Neighbors notice, and that is most of the point.
