Out along the western edge of the township, the marsh country of Troy Meadows keeps the mornings damp well past sunrise. Dial Environmental works the lawns of East Hanover in that heavy dew — mowing, trimming, edging, and the feeding and weed control that keep turf thick enough to crowd trouble out on its own. A dense lawn is its own defense, and building one is slow work that compounds across a season. Morris County soil can run tired after a hot July, and it answers to attention come the fall. By October the color that returns is the proof.
