Down along the Raritan by Duke Island Park, autumn shows up as a smell before it shows up as a color — wet leaves, cold river, cut grass one last time. Evergreen Creations works Bridgewater lawns through that turn and all the way back around: mowing and trimming through the growing months, edging beds so the lines stay honest, and hauling off the fall when the sycamores finally let go. River-bottom ground grows grass thick and quick, and only a steady cycle keeps it even. There is real pride in the last cut of the season, a yard put to bed square and clean. Then the spring clearing opens it back up and the whole thing begins again.
