About Baywood Landscaping

The first boat leaves Eagle Harbor while the water is still the color of pewter, and by then Baywood Landscaping is already unloading at the top of a driveway somewhere above Winslow. This is lawn care on an island where grass keeps growing most of the year and a mower deck earns its keep — mowing, edging, string trimming, and the week-to-week maintenance that keeps a yard from getting ahead of anybody. Bainbridge lawns run to moss, shade and soft ground under cedar, so much of the craft is learning each one's particular habits. The payoff is the moment the work stops: a straight line where turf meets bed, every clipping gathered, the whole place looking like it got up early too. When the ferry comes back across in the evening, those mown stripes still read from the road.
