On the first properly warm Saturday in April, Boonton opens its windows and the whole town suddenly notices its grass. Ibraheem's Lawn Care begins the year right there — spring cleanup, winter's litter and matted leaves raked away, beds re-edged, the first cut taken before the lawn gets ahead of itself. After that it is steady mowing and trimming, week by week, along streets that still follow the old canal grade through the middle of town. Nothing dramatic: show up, cut it correctly, take the debris along. By June the yards on the route have that even, deliberate look you can spot from a passing car.
