Late August, and by eight o'clock the cicadas have Murray Hill Terrace entirely to themselves. Bergenfield Power LLC finishes before that — a day of mowing, edging along the aprons, trimming hedges back off the fence, the truck loaded and rolling while the light is still good. Mulch goes down through the season to keep the beds dark and even, and two cleanups a year take a yard down to its bones and build it back. Small town, small lots, and that is exactly why a crisp edge on a short lawn reads twice as sharp. That's the whole craft, really: the line where grass stops and concrete starts, cut like somebody drew it.
