Walk the levee path on a late-August morning and you can see how much of Bound Brook sits low and green between the ridge and the water. Benny's Landscaping & Construction works the yards below it — mowing on a set week, trimming the ragged corners, hauling off the clippings so nothing sits and yellows. August grass grows in bursts after a storm and then sulks in the heat, and the job is reading which week is which. Autumn brings leaves down in drifts against the curbs, and those get cleared before the rain packs them flat. Lawn care in this town is mostly patience, done on time.
