September in Hammonton smells like peaches going into crates, and the light gets softer and lower every week. It is a generous month for lawns here — cooler nights, better growth, ground that finally holds a little moisture. J&J Martinez Landscaping L.L.C uses it well: mowing on schedule, edges recut sharp, trimming tight along the walks, beds cleaned out and mulched. Fall cleanup follows close behind, leaves off the turf before they have a chance to mat down. Grass that goes into winter clean comes out of it strong, and that is what the autumn work buys.
