South of town the ground turns sandy and the woods go to oak and pitch pine — Turkey Swamp country, where the first frost tends to arrive a night ahead of the rest of Freehold. Ralphs landscaping & lawn care works the yards on that side through the entire growing stretch: mowing, string trimming, edging walks and drives, and carrying brush and clippings off rather than leaving them behind. October is the heavy month, when the oaks drop late and all together and a lawn needs clearing more than once to make it through. Spring is the other end of it, opening the yard back up after a winter of matted leaves. The measure of the work is a property that looks the same good way every single week.
