Borg's Woods sits in the middle of Hackensack like a held breath — a stand of oak and tulip poplar that goes copper in the third week of October and then lets go all at once. Downwind of that, the yards fill, and leaf work sets the calendar. Cleanups run block by block until the turf comes back into view, dark green and short for the cold months ahead. The rest of the year is mowing and edging on a steady rotation, string trimming around fences, mailbox posts and the hundred corners a mower cannot square up. It is lawn care measured in tidy borders and a curb you can see again.
