By mid-July the big maples over the older Hackettstown streets throw so much shade that the turf beneath them goes thin and hungry. Selvin Landscaping LLC works with that instead of against it — mowing high through the heat, easing the trimmer around root flares, keeping the beds edged so the shade lawns still look intentional. Grass cut at the right height in August is grass that survives August. The route runs weekly, spring cleanup to last leaf, with mulch laid in when the beds need refreshing. A shaded lawn kept even and green is a small, satisfying victory over the calendar.
