At noon in high summer, the greens of Carteret read all the brighter for the gray around them — tanks, rail spurs and the flat working skyline north of the borough. Verdant Lawn Care Services works to keep them that way, mowing on a set schedule so no lawn in the rotation ever gets ahead of itself. Trimming and edging finish what the mower starts: a clean line at the walk, the fence line cut back, the driveway blown clear. There is real pride in pulling onto a block and being able to tell at a glance which yards are yours. Cleanups take care of the shoulder seasons, spring and fall alike. All of it happens in Carteret and the Middlesex County towns around it.
