Broad Street carries the county's business past the courthouse and the old squares, and greenery on that spine is public in a way a back yard never is — everyone sees it, all day long. D&L Landscaping Contractor maintains Elizabeth properties on that principle: cut at the right height, edges held to the concrete, clippings off the walk before the noon crowd comes through. Residential blocks get the same treatment on a weekly loop, plus the heavier lifting of the two cleanup seasons. Grass in this city has to survive road salt, dogs, heat off the pavement and a very short window of mercy. Keeping it green anyway is the whole job, and it is a satisfying one.
