Noon in July on the Mine Mount side of Bernardsville: heat sitting in the hollows, a hedge line running a hundred yards along the road, cicadas at full volume. Royal Knight Landscaping LLC mows through the middle of that day, holding a straight cut down a long lawn and trimming the base of the hedge so the whole run reads as one line. Somerset Hills grass in high summer wants cutting whether the weather is agreeable or not. The line along the drive gets recut each week, and the gravel gets cleared of whatever the mower throws. Later in the year the oaks come down and the work is clearing them before frost pins them to the ground.
