West of Route 9 the pines take over, and the streams run the color of strong tea out of the cedar swamps. Walford Landscaping LLC keeps the lawns in that pine-country half of Barnegat — mowing through the long warm season, trimming, edging beds, and hauling off oak leaves and needles when October comes down all at once. Ground this sandy drains before you can blink, which makes a thick, even stand of grass something you earn. When a nor'easter turns over to snow, the work shifts to plowing driveways, opening paths to the door and salting the shaded stretches the sun won't reach for days. Two seasons, one habit: get there early and leave it right.
