Spring reaches Closter from the woods first: the Nature Center goes green while the lawns are still brown and waiting, and then, over about ten days, the whole borough catches up. Beautiful Outdoors Inc starts its year in that gap — clearing the winter's litter off the deep shaded lots, opening the beds, taking the first cut once the ground firms up. From there the visits run all summer, mowing and trimming under the old maples, chasing the shade lines that move across a lawn by the hour. When the valley turns cold the trucks change over to plows and salt for the driveways and walks. Lawn care and snow removal in Closter and the Northern Valley towns.
