The brook that gives Green Brook Township its name also gives it a temper: park a summer storm over the mountain and the water is up in the flats toward Dunellen inside an hour. JAL Landscaping mows around that weather, catching yards on the days the ground will hold a machine and letting the low corners dry before touching them. Weekly cuts, edges cut in at the sidewalk, trimming along fence and stoop, mulch worked into the beds, cleanups run at both ends of the year. Fertilizer and weed control go down on a schedule that respects how fast runoff moves through this township. When August finally turns dry, those same lawns are the ones still green from the street.
