The hills behind Atlantic Highlands rise higher than anything else on this stretch of coast, and the lawns climb right up with them — terraced, tilted, cut into the slope above Sandy Hook Bay. Jeff's Lawn & Landscaping LLC mows and maintains those yards, working across a grade where a mower has to be handled rather than pushed. Bay wind keeps the air salty and the grass low, so a crisp edge along a hillside walk is the detail that makes a whole property read as cared for. Spring means cleanups and mulch, summer means a weekly rhythm, autumn means leaves arriving downhill from three properties above. Come evening the light off the water turns every trimmed lawn on the hill a shade of gold.
