Property maintenance is the sum of a hundred small decisions nobody notices until they stop being made. Out in Hampton Township and toward Essexville, where the yards run wide and the wind off the flats keeps the grass moving, Nuffer's Property Maintenance keeps a place on schedule: mowed on time in late August when the heat makes everything sprint, trimmed along the fences, cleaned up before company arrives. Autumn means hauling leaves away before they turn to a wet mat, and winter means the drive and the walk cleared so a morning can start when it is supposed to. The reward is a property that never looks like it is catching up. It just looks looked-after, all season long.
