West of Bernardsville the road climbs and keeps climbing, past stone walls and horse fence, toward the ridge country that runs on to Mendham and Chester. CHESTER RIDGE LANDSCAPING keeps lawns up where the wind finds you and October shows up a week early. Mowing that ground is a matter of reading the slope — where to turn, where the soil stays soft, how to leave a stripe that follows the land instead of fighting it. In fall the oaks let go nearly all at once and the work becomes leaves: blown out of the beds, off the walks, away from the footings of the walls. What's left is a lawn that reads as cared for from the road, which is the whole point.
