September on Claremont Road: dew until mid-morning, school buses, a few maples showing off well ahead of schedule. M2 Landscaping & Tree Services is out in that damp cutting lawns that put on one last hard push of growth before the cold. It's the season for tight trimming around the beds and a border that will still read clean in November. Then the leaves start and the work turns to blowing and hauling until the grass is open to the sky again. A Bernardsville yard looks its finest in early fall, and steady weekly hands are what get it there.
