Hawthorne is laid out in a friendly grid of capes and split-levels, each with a strip of lawn out front and a fenced square behind. Jersey Craft Exteriors - Hawthorne keeps those pieces looked after: mowing, edging, string trimming, bed cleanups at both ends of the year, fertilizing to hold the color. Late August is the real test — the humidity sits down on the block, the grass sulks, and only steady care carries a yard into September. The pleasure of this work is the before-and-after of a single afternoon. Curb to back fence, it is a small place made right.
