From the high ground on Bloomfield's western side, a late-August evening hands you the whole valley and the Newark skyline glinting past the end of it. A CUT FROM ABOVE LANDSCAPING/HARDSCAPING works the yards along those slopes — grass cut, edges cleaned up, trimming and end-of-season yard work, then plowing and snow clearing once the cold arrives. Sloped Essex County properties do not forgive lazy work: a mowing line that wanders shows from the street below, and a drive left short of the pavement glazes over by evening. Doing it properly means walking the ground rather than only driving it. What gets left behind should look effortless, which is the hardest thing of all to fake.
