Early April in the borough is all mud and possibility — frost coming out of the ground, lawns waking in patches, half a yard ready and half of it still soft underfoot. Justin's Landscaping starts the year right there, cleaning out the winter's litter, edging beds back into shape, and timing that first mow so the wheels do not write themselves into the turf. After that it is steady: mowing on schedule, trimming the corners a mower cannot reach, blowing drives and walks clean before leaving. Franklin Lakes yards run big and rarely flat, so a route takes what it takes. The payoff is a place that looks tended from the road, every week of the season.
