Along the western edge of Hamilton the ground drops toward the Abbott Marshlands, where Spring Lake sits still beneath the tallest shade in the township. Lawns near water and big timber are their own particular problem — thin turf, damp corners, roots riding close to the surface — and United 1 Tree Services & Landscaping takes it on with mowing at the right height, shade overseeding, fertilization, edging, trimming and mulch that keeps the beds from going bare. Leaf cleanup out there is a long season of its own, running from the first drop clear through November. Getting green to hold under a canopy is slow work and worth doing properly. When the shaded side of a yard finally fills in, you can see it from the street.
