September light in Elmwood Park arrives long and slanted down the avenues, and by six the whole borough has gone the color of honey. Sunset Ridge Landscape Contractors likes the lawns ready for it — cut even, edged along walk and drive, trimmed clean at the fence line, mulch spread thin and level, shrubs shaped. The year runs from the spring cleanup through the weekly mowing to the last cart of leaves in late fall. Grass takes that low evening light better than anything else on a street. It only asks for the work that earns it.
