March in Freehold is mostly mud — the frost coming out of that sandy ground, the lawns flattened and littered, everything looking worse than it will in six weeks. JC LANDSCAPING & GENERAL CONTRACTING LLC starts the season right there, in the unlovely part: cleanups that strip the winter off a property, beds cut back in, the debris hauled away. Then the first mow of the year, which always looks like more of a transformation than it should. From there it becomes routine, mowing and trimming and edging through Monmouth County's long green stretch. Turning a tired March yard into a clean April one is the most visible thing this trade does all year.
