Late in a summer day, Fairview's west-facing porches take the sun going down over the Meadowlands while the blocks on the other side of the ridge watch Manhattan turn its lights on across the water. CREW CUT LANDSCAPING LLC tends the grass beneath both of those views, mowing to an even nap, running a clean line along the sidewalk seams, and carrying off the clippings before dusk. When the season turns, the same trucks come back after dark to push snow off driveways and lay salt while the borough sleeps. Storms here arrive with the wind at their back, and there is a particular satisfaction in beating them to the morning. A lawn kept even and a path kept open — that is the whole of it, done street by street.
