Follow West Bay Avenue east far enough and the lots grow smaller, the wind grows saltier, and the road simply ends at the water. Bennett and Sons Landscape Construction works that whole run — lawns cut and edged, beds trimmed back, leaves gathered in October when the maples on the older streets let go all at once. Barnegat sits low against its bay, so weather arrives without much warning; a property that wants a clean cut in September wants an open driveway in January. The snow that comes off the ocean is often wet and dense, the packing kind, so the plowing gets done early rather than fought later. A property reads best when its borders are sharp and its way in is clear.
