October mornings here start under river fog, everything gray and dripping until the sun burns it off around nine. J.A.Chris Landscaping Corp begins the day in that quiet, working leaf cleanups yard by yard across Bound Brook — beds cleared, fence lines raked out, lawns blown down to green. Earlier in the year the same route runs on mowing and trimming, cut on schedule with the edges kept true. Mulch in spring, cleanup in fall, and a lot of ordinary weeks in between. By the time the fog lifts, a couple of yards are already done.
