South of Hackensack the Meadowlands breathe fog on September evenings, and it drifts up the river low enough to sit in the yards by dark. Cutting in that hour is a pleasure — cool air, long light, grass that has finally stopped racing after the August heat. Fitzpatrick Lawn & Landscape treats the late-season stretch as carefully as the first flush of May: mowing on rotation, edges recut along drives and walks, trimming tight to steps and posts. Autumn brings the leaf haul and a closing cleanup that leaves beds bare and turf short enough to winter well. When spring reopens the route, the whole patient circuit starts over.
