Off Center Avenue, Fort Lee's back yards are quiet shaded pockets — a strip of lawn, a fence, a maple doing most of the deciding about sunlight. Vee's Botanicals and Son works those spaces in the early hours of June, while the dew is still down and the cut comes up clean. Mowing and trimming a small shaded yard is mostly a matter of patience; the trimmer does as much of the work as the mower does. Edges get pulled tight along the walk and the driveway apron, where the eye goes first. Cleanups in spring and fall keep the whole thing from getting away, and the lawn holds its color deep into the warm months.
