The Delaware and Raritan towpath passes just west of Heathcote, a flat gravel line under sycamores where mules once walked and runners now do. Gomez Lawn Care keeps a similar straightness on the lawns nearby — grass cut in long parallel runs, corners trimmed out, drives and paths edged clean, and the seasonal clearing that keeps a yard open. Summer here is thick and slow, and grass takes full advantage of it. A weekly cut is what stands between a property and a jungle by mid-July. Finished, a lawn on these streets looks the way the towpath does: level, unfussy, going somewhere.
