Green Brook runs the northern edge of Dunellen, and the trees along it hand the borough a long, bright autumn every year. Richard and Sons Landscaping works straight through it, clearing leaves off lawns and out of beds week after week until the branches stand bare. The warm months bring the standing routine instead: mowing, trimming, edging, mulch refreshed in spring, borders held where they belong. Yards here are modest and close together, so the difference between tidy and neglected is obvious from the sidewalk. Keeping a whole street's worth of them looking sharp is steady, satisfying work, and it shows even from the train windows.
